Cancer During Pregnancy
Other gynecologic cancers
 Ovarian Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer, and Peritoneal Cancer are hard to detect after 12 weeks of pregnancy, because the uterus rises out of the pelvis, making detecting the cancers more difficult. If advanced, ovarian cancer during pregnancy may be fatal before completion of the pregnancy. Affected women require removal of both ovaries as soon as possible. Cancer of the Uterus rarely occurs during pregnancy.
