Abstract
With the postponement of female reproductive age and the higher incidence of cancer in young people, fertility preservation has become increasingly important in childbearing age. Chemotherapy during pregnancy is crucial for maternal cancer treatments and fetal outcomes. It is a need to further study ovarian damage caused by chemotherapy drug combinations and long-term effects on offspring development, and a detailed understanding of side effects of chemotherapy drugs. In this study, chemotherapy drug combinations significantly impacted on ovarian function, especially epirubicin/cyclophosphamide (EC) combination led to an unbalance in the development of the left and right ovary. Exposure to EC and cisplatin/paclitaxel (TP) increased the number of progenitor follicles while decreased the count of antral follicles and corpora luteum. As to the estrus cycle, EC exposure resulted in a longer estrus period and diestrus period, while TP exposure only extended the diestrus period. EC and TP affected steroid biosynthesis by reducing the expression of SF1 and P450arom.γ-H2AX was detected in both EC and TP exposure groups. As to the impact on the offspring from 4T1 tumor-bearing pregnant mice injected with EC, no significant difference was observed in the physical and neurological development compared to the control, but the ovarian weights, estrus cycles of the offspring were significantly different. Chemotherapy drug combinations exhibit ovarian toxicity, not only causing direct damage on the follicle cells but also disrupting steroid biosynthesis. The reproductive system of offspring from maternal tumor-bearing mice exposed to chemotherapy drugs was observed disorder, but the concrete mechanism still needs further exploration.

Abstract
Introduction: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) occurrence during pregnancy is unusual due to the low prevalence of the disease in women of childbearing age, with only three reported cases. Case report: The mother was diagnosed with CML with positive BCR-ABL gene fusion in her 32nd week of gestation. The placenta showed an increased population of myelocytes and segmented neutrophils in the intervillous space and features of maternal villous malperfusion (increased perivillous fibrinoid material and distal villous hypoplasia). The mother underwent leukapheresis and delivered the neonate at 33 wk gestation. The neonate demonstrated neither leukemia nor other pathology. The mother is in remission after four years of follow-up. Conclusion: Leukapheresis was performed safely during pregnancy and provided a safe management strategy until the delivery one week later.

Abstract
The management of cancer during pregnancy requires a patient-centered, multidisciplinary approach to balance maternal and fetal well-being given the rarity of this clinical scenario and lack of substantial data. Involvement of oncology and nononcology medical specialists and ethical, legal, and psychosocial supports, as needed, is instrumental in navigating the complexities of care for this patient population. Critical periods of fetal development and physiological changes in pregnancy must be considered when planning diagnostic and therapeutic approaches during pregnancy. The complexity of symptom recognition and interventional approaches contributes to diagnostic delays of cancers during pregnancy. Ultrasound and whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging are safe throughout pregnancy. Surgery can be safely performed throughout pregnancy, with the early second trimester preferred for intra-abdominal surgery. Chemotherapy can be safely administered after 12-14 weeks of gestation until 1-3 weeks before the anticipated delivery. Most targeted and immunotherapeutic agents are contraindicated during pregnancy because of limited data. Pelvic radiation during pregnancy is absolutely contraindicated, while if radiation to the upper body is needed, administration should only be considered early in pregnancy. To ensure that the total cumulative fetal exposure to ionizing radiation does not exceed 100 mGy, early inclusion of the radiology team in the care plan is required. Closer prenatal monitoring is recommended for maternal and fetal treatment-related toxicities. Delivery before 37 weeks of gestation should be avoided if possible, and vaginal delivery is preferred unless obstetrically indicated or specific clinical scenarios. Postpartum, breastfeeding should be discussed, and the neonate should receive blood work to assess for acute toxicities with follow-up arranged for long-term monitoring.

Abstract
PURPOSE Review the effects of fetal and placental metastases in the setting of maternal cancer. METHOD Data reported in the peer-reviewed literature were combined with guidelines to evaluate the incidence, type and prognosis for fetal and placental metastasis in the setting of maternal cancer. RESULTS Limited literature available. Fetal and placental metastasis are rare. Fetal metastasis generally occurs on the background of concurrent placental metastasis thus it is important to thoroughly examine the placenta in cases of known gestational cancers. Tumor molecular testing is used to confirm maternal to offspring transmission. Maternal to offspring transmission may have a long timeline between birth to clinical presentation. Prognosis in offspring may be better than in the mother who may have a more aggressive phenotype. CONCLUSION Fetal and placental metastasis associated with maternal cancers are rare and limited peer-reviewed literature is available. The occurrence may be confirmed by detailed histological placental evaluation and molecular testing in the offspring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cancer during pregnancy affects 1 in 1000 pregnancies. This situation requires multidisciplinary team, however there is no care pathway dedicated to these patients. The main objective was to describe oncological, obstetrical, and neonatal care through a regional inventory. Our secondary objective was to define a regional "cancer and pregnancy" care pathway. MATERIAL AND METHOD We carried out an observational, retrospective study from 2013 to 2019 including 48 women (all cancer types) from 2013 to 2019 in Occitania. Then, we defined an "optimal care pathway" and we assessed whether it was respected in the breast cancer subgroup of our cohort. RESULTS Live births occurred in 79% of the women included. Maternal treatment was initiated during pregnancy for 67% of our population (44% chemotherapy). The most frequent pregnancy complication was preterm delivery (39%), mainly iatrogenic (86.6%). No patient in the group of breast cancer benefited from all of the ten criteria of the "optimal care pathway" that we proposed. CONCLUSIONS A coordinated regional care pathway seems necessary to optimize communication between the healthcare providers (oncologists, gynecologists and multidisciplinary prenatal diagnosis centers, pharmacologists, pediatricians, psychologists, and general practitioners). This study identifies weaknesses in the management of women with cancer during pregnancy and suggests regional improvement opportunities.

Abstract
Background and purpose Radiotherapy during pregnancy is rarely administered due to lack of data and practical challenges. This is the first detailed report of proton therapy as cancer treatment for a pregnant patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Materials and methods Pencil beam scanning proton therapy was prescribed to a pregnant patient to a total dose of 70 Gy (RBE) to the therapeutic CTV and 54.25 Gy to the prophylactic CTV, delivered in 35 fractions with a simultaneous integrated boost technique. Results Phantom measurements showed a thirty-fold decrease in fetal radiation dose when using proton compared to photon therapy, with a total fetal dose of 5.5 mSv for the complete proton treatment, compared to 185 and 298 mSv for the photon treatment with and without lead shielding, respectively. After adminstering proton therapy during pregnancy, at 39 weeks of gestation, a healthy boy with a birthweight on the 83th percentile was delivered. Pediatric follow-up at 2 months of age of the offspring showed normal growth and age-adequate motor development with no signs of neurological problems. MR follow-up of the tumor 3 months after the end of treatment showed complete remission. Conclusion This case demonstrates the potential of proton therapy for treatment during pregnancy.Compared to photon therapy, proton therapy can significantly limit fetal dose, while simultaneously offering a more optimized treatment to the patient.
