The usual age range of acute lymphoblastic malignancies (acute lymphoblastic leukemia and advanced-stage lymphoblastic lymphoma) includes teenagers and young adults (<22 years of age) and coincides with the age of fertility. Concurrence of acute lymphoblastic malignancy with pregnancy is therefore most likely to happen during the younger childbearing ages. However, the therapeutic challenges posed by the dual diagnosis of lymphoblastic malignancy and pregnancy have not specifically been studied in the context of age, and management guidelines for pregnant young patients are lacking. Inconsistency in defining the legal decision-making rights of pregnant teenaged patients adds a further level of complexity in this age group. Management of this challenging combination in the young patient therefore entails unique ethical considerations. Here we present two illustrative cases of teenage pregnancy complicated by acute lymphoblastic malignancy, review the available literature, and offer suggestions for the therapeutic management of such cases in adolescent and young adult patients. Importantly, practical management recommendations are provided in the context of clinical ethics principles that are universally applicable, including in developing countries, where the highest incidence of adolescent pregnancies has been documented.
急性淋巴细胞性恶性肿瘤(急性淋巴细胞白血病和晚期淋巴细胞淋巴瘤)的常见年龄范围包括青少年和青年(<22岁),这与生育年龄相符。因此,急性淋巴细胞性恶性肿瘤与妊娠同时发生最有可能出现在较年轻的生育年龄段。然而,淋巴细胞性恶性肿瘤和妊娠双重诊断所带来的治疗挑战尚未在年龄背景下进行专门研究,并且缺乏针对怀孕年轻患者的管理指南。在界定怀孕青少年患者的法定决策权方面存在不一致,这给该年龄组增加了进一步的复杂性。因此,对年轻患者中这种具有挑战性的组合进行管理需要独特的伦理考量。在此,我们展示两例并发急性淋巴细胞性恶性肿瘤的青少年妊娠病例,回顾现有文献,并针对青少年和青年患者此类病例的治疗管理提出建议。重要的是,在普遍适用的临床伦理原则背景下提供了实际管理建议,包括在记录到青少年妊娠发生率最高的发展中国家。
