[Breast cancer and pregnancy].

Breast carcinoma is a condition characterized by an ever increasing incidence. Young women too are ever more frequently involved. Currently a modern tendency is observed of young women to postpone conception for a later period of life on account of a number of socioeconomical reasons, which tendency tangibly augments the number of women affected with breast cancer during the pregnancy period. Most of the pregnant women are in the age group 34 to 35 years. Breast cancer during pregnancy is a malignant disease ranking second by incidence rate. The latter amounts to 10-30 per 100,000 of pregnant women.
