Is it safe for pregnant women with advanced esophageal cancer to give birth?

Esophageal cancer is a very common malignant tumor that can occur in anyone. Esophageal cancer can cause great harm to patients, especially young female patients, who are at the best age for childbearing. Once they are diagnosed with esophageal cancer, it is very scary. Can patients with esophageal cancer get pregnant? Let's listen to what the experts say.

Every woman has the qualifications and desire to be a mother, but patients with esophageal cancer are extremely conflicted due to the obstruction of the disease. This is also a problem that doctors often encounter in clinical practice. Theoretically, as long as the reproductive system of patients with esophageal cancer is normal, it is still possible to give birth. However, from a medical point of view and from the perspective of eugenics, a married patient with esophageal cancer should be discouraged from getting pregnant and giving birth.
Patients with esophageal cancer should not get pregnant before they are fully recovered. Pregnancy will affect the nutrition and physical strength of the patient. If the patient still needs intermittent maintenance treatment, most of the drugs are cytotoxic drugs that are toxic to the fetus, which will cause fetal malformation, miscarriage, and premature birth. If you are already pregnant, you should try to terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible. Clinical data have shown that pregnancy can promote the recurrence and metastasis of esophageal cancer, and also bring many difficulties to treatment, affecting the efficacy. If the patient suffers from reproductive system or breast tumors, whether he can get pregnant should be consulted by oncology and gynecology experts. If it really has no impact on physical health and he has the ability to get pregnant and give birth, he can consider pregnancy. But it is generally better not to get pregnant, so as to avoid the imbalance of the endocrine system in the body and disturb the health of the patient.
