Legal aspects of providing oncological care to pregnant women.

Introduction. Oncological disease in pregnant women is a rather rare phenomenon, so there is not much information and research on this topic. Also, the legal framework in Russia needs to be improved, since the regulations governing the provision of oncological care do not have a separate section devoted to the provision of medical care to pregnant women. The provisions only include or touch upon this problem. Objective of the study: to analyze the regulatory framework on the basis of which assistance is provided to pregnant women with oncological diseases. Materials and methods. A review of regulatory legal acts was carried out, including provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, Federal laws, orders of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, appendices to orders. Results. Regulation of oncological care for pregnant women in Russia is effective, but also has shortcomings. It needs to be improved taking into account modern medical research in order to provide patients with quality medical care. Conclusions. Taking into account all the features of the disease, the legal framework should include a separate category of cancer care for pregnant women, remaining not only effective, but also improving the quality of medical services, increasing the availability of specialized care, and developing information technologies in the field of oncology.
