Will early pregnancy and childbirth be affected by esophageal cancer?

Esophageal cancer is a very common malignant tumor that can occur at any age and in anyone. Being a mother is what every female friend hopes for, but if a female friend is unfortunately diagnosed with esophageal cancer, will early pregnancy and childbirth be affected by esophageal cancer? This is something every female friend wants to know, and I will introduce it to you below.

Patients with esophageal cancer should not get pregnant before they are fully recovered. Pregnancy will affect the patient's nutrition and physical strength. 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.
Esophageal cancer itself is a malignant tumor. If it is not treated in time, it will grow recklessly. The growth of esophageal cancer itself will deprive the patient of nutrients. At the same time, esophageal cancer itself needs to be treated. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy will cause different degrees of damage to the body, affect the patient's appetite, and also harm the growth of healthy cells, which is extremely harmful to the fetus. Through the above, the patient himself cannot bear it, and it will also affect the fetus, and it will aggravate the development of esophageal cancer and lead to deterioration.
