ABSTRACT

This review focuses on the maternal cardiovascular risk and outcomes of pregnancy in childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors who are achieving survival to their prime reproductive years. Childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors are a growing population and have increasing needs for reproductive care over decades of life. Female cancer survivors have an overall higher risk of maternal cardiovascular events compared to those without a history of cancer. In female cancer survivors with normal cardiac function before pregnancy, the incidence of new heart failure during pregnancy is low. In survivors with cardiotoxicity prior to pregnancy, the risk of heart failure during and immediately after pregnancy is much higher. We recommend cardiomyopathy surveillance with echocardiography before pregnancy for all female survivors treated with anthracyclines and chest radiation. Survivors with cardiotoxicity prior to pregnancy should be cared for by an expert multidisciplinary team, including obstetrics, cardiology, anesthesia, and specialized nursing, among others.
