What is Breast Cancer in Pregnancy?
Breast cancer in pregnancy (also known as pregnancy-associated breast cancer or PABC) is breast cancer that is diagnosed during pregnancy, within one year after delivery, or during lactation.
While relatively rare, affecting approximately 1 in 3,000 pregnancies, it is one of the most common cancers diagnosed during pregnancy. As more women delay childbearing, the incidence is expected to increase.

Why Research Matters
Limited Treatment Options
Many standard cancer treatments cannot be used during pregnancy, leaving doctors with limited options. Research is needed to develop safe and effective treatments that protect both mother and baby.
Complex Decision Making
Pregnant women diagnosed with breast cancer face incredibly difficult decisions about their treatment, timing of delivery, and their baby's health. Better research leads to clearer guidance.
Improved Outcomes
With dedicated research, we can improve survival rates, reduce complications, and give families hope during an incredibly challenging time.
