Until now being a mother with uterine cancer It was not possible. However, a new technique that allows it is already being developed successfully. The operation is only carried out in some special cases and under strict control, but it is hopeful for women of reproductive age who suffer from this disease.
In order for it to be applied, there must be conditions that not all patients have. The tumor should not be large and located. There should be no other parts of the reproductive system affected and should be followed up about three months after the operation to be sure there is no immediate relapse.
If all is well proceed to the intervention. The area of the neck that is affected is removed vaginally but the uterus is preserved, which allows pregnancy. Also, by laparoscopy, all the nodes of the pelvis are analyzed, to rule out that the tumor had spread. If that had happened the technique should be the classic one and this program would not be applicable.
As explained by those responsible in the world there are 200 live born children and healthy with this type of intervention and in Spain a baby has already been born in Palma de Mallorca, although on October 12, Madrid the operation has already been done twice and those affected are looking for their pregnancy.
In these desired pregnancies, surely achieved when the mothers did not expect to be able to be, they must be carefully monitored and are considered high risk, being premature births usually.
It is really wonderful news for young women who, if diagnosed with this disease, may consider that be a mother with uterine cancer It is no longer impossible.
