Management of cervical cancer in pregnancy in a low resource setting: a rare case report

Cervical cancer in pregnancy is a rare event. Diagnosis and management of cervical cancer in pregnancy is complicated and challenging in a low resource setting. Herein, we present a case of cervical cancer (FIGO stage IB3) diagnosed at 28+ 5 weeks and successfully managed at 37+ 2 weeks of gestation in a 27-year-old woman. This is the first case report on cervical cancer in pregnancy from Bhutan. It highlights the diagnostic and management challenges in a low resource country.

Abstract

Cervical cancer in pregnancy is a rare event. Diagnosis and management of cervical cancer in pregnancy is complicated and challenging in a low resource setting. Herein, we present a case of cervical cancer (FIGO stage IB3) diagnosed at 28+ 5 weeks and successfully managed at 37+ 2 weeks of gestation in a 27-year-old woman. This is the first case report on cervical cancer in pregnancy from Bhutan. It highlights the diagnostic and management challenges in a low resource country.
