Abstract
As the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in the younger population increases and women start their childbearing journey at later ages, CRC in pregnancy will become an increasingly relevant and decreasingly rare occurrence. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of data on this subject given its historical rarity. CRC is often diagnosed at a late stage in pregnancy because of the conflation of symptoms of pregnancy with symptoms of CRC. A major branch point for the diagnosis and treatment of CRC in pregnancy is whether it is diagnosed early or late in pregnancy. The workup for cancer is similar for pregnant and nonpregnant populations and includes endoscopy and staging computed tomography. Treatment is dependent on the stage of cancer and term of pregnancy. This review summarizes the current evidence for diagnosis, workup, and treatment of CRC during pregnancy and explores issues of fertility after a diagnosis of CRC.
期刊介绍：
Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery is a review journal that publishes topic-specific issues on diseases of the small bowel, colon, rectum, and anus.
Designed for clinicians, researchers, and educators involved with diseases of the intestinal tract, the journal covers a broad spectrum of basic information, controversial clinical issues, and established and innovative diagnostic techniques.
Issue topics comprehensively cover the entire specialty over a 3-4 year period, allowing the articles to serve as study material for educational programs and certifying examinations. The inclusion of research and clinical material also allows physicians to remain knowledgeable of current advances in the specialty.
