AB Treating  a  pregnant  woman  diagnosed  with  breast  cancer  is  a  difficult  clinical  scenario  facing  a  variety  of  clinicians,  obstetricians,  radiologists,  surgeons,  medical  oncologists,  and  radiation  oncologists,  just  to  name  a  few.  Unfortunately,  there  is  a  paucity  of  randomized,  clinical  trial  data  to  guide  the  treating  physicians.1,2  Thus  the  clinicians  must  rely  on  retrospective  data  and  clinical  experience  to  determine  an  individual  patient's  treatment  plan.  This  chapter  will  summarize  the  best  currently  available  evidence  for  treating  a  pregnant  woman  with  breast  cancer.
