ABSTRACT
Breast cancer in pregnancy is a very rare condition. At present this doesn't seem a condition with a particularly grim prognosis. It's often only an underestimate of the mammalian masses in pregnancy which produces a delay in the diagnosis and the consequent grim prognosis. The authors recommend on the basis of their experience a careful control of mammalian masses in pregnancy and an opportune diagnosis that allows to operate as soon as possible. It's likewise underlined that interruption of the pregnancy don't seem to improve the prognosis.

Following an overview of the most recent literature on the topic, the paper discusses those cases of carcinoma of the neck of the uterus treated by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Ospedale S. Giacomo in Rome during the period 1964-1983. Cases are subdivided into two groups: those occurring between 1964-1973 and those dating from the period 1974-1983. Classification, diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic criteria are compared. In conclusion, the paper analyses results obtained with regard to the 5-year survival rate following initial surgery.
