Frederic Amant, MD, PhD, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium, discusses managing cancer during pregnancy, emphasizing two key messages. Firstly, he highlights that cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, can be safely administered during pregnancy, challenging the misconception that pregnant women cannot receive cancer treatment. Secondly, the complexity of managing cancer during pregnancy requires an interdisciplinary approach. Collaboration between oncologists, obstetricians, and perinatologists is crucial to ensure comprehensive care for both the mother and the baby. This approach ensures that the mother receives appropriate treatment while also prioritizing the well-being and protection of the baby. This interview took place at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Annual Congress in Chicago, IL.
