A newly diagnosed cancer during pregnancy poses a different scenario that life could confront us with. While it may sound like a dead end, modern medicine offers quite a few options to combine pregnancy care with necessary cancer treatment. A special section of the website is dedicated to these cases.
Cancers aren't the only ones that pose similar complex questions and difficult choices. Patients with autoimmune and rheumatoid diseases are also in a similar situation, and we are preparing detailed guidelines for them, together with immunologists and rheumatologists. These will be published in a separate section of the website, where we will include information on fertility preservation, as well as planning and monitoring pregnancy for each individual diagnosis.
The site will also be supplemented with a section of useful information about endometriosis, a disease that has a complex relationship with fertility and pregnancy.

We believe that shared experience and collaboration between different expert teams is the key to the best patient care.
