Cancer in pregnancy: FIGO Best practice advice and narrative review.
Review in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.
Who cites it
8 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it.

Abstract
Cancer during pregnancy is relatively rare. The incidence is underestimated due to the lack of international registries covering both high-income and low- and middle-income countries, and is expected to rise with increasing maternal age and increasing global adoption of cell-free DNA testing for aneuploidy. Physiological changes during pregnancy often make the diagnosis challenging and delayed. Lack of experience and knowledge about this condition may also contribute to late diagnosis, suboptimal management, and occasionally inadvertent fetal and/or maternal harm. The principles of cancer management in pregnancy for most cancer types do not differ significantly from the non-pregnant population. The impact of investigations for diagnosis and staging, risks of surgery, systemic chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy on fetal well-being and preterm birth need to be considered for treatment and management planning, in addition to maternal wishes. Working in a multidisciplinary setting, ideally with medical and radiation oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, cancer specialist nurses, geneticists, psychologists, teratologists, and clinical pharmacologists, obstetricians, obstetric physicians, neonatologists, and experienced nursing and midwifery staff helps provide optimal care for the woman. This best practice advice aims to provide recommendations on the diagnosis and management of cancer in pregnancy, which can be adopted in all resource settings.
