If a pregnant woman is diagnosed near cancer can the kid return with ti and can you be born beside cancer?


Answers:    No. Cancer is not a congenital disease and the little one will be fine. Congenital is when your born with it.
As a nurse and cancer survivor, I don't see how this could be possible, but I am only a nurse, not an oncologist or gyn. If you know anything in the region of maternal/fetal circulation, then you would know that the blood of the mother and fetus don't mix, they trade nutrients via the placenta that is attached to the uterine wall and through the two arteries and one vein of the umbilical cord. Now that human being said, usually cancer starts as the result of a mutation in a cell during replication, and metastasis occurs via the bloodstream, so I don't think it is plausible. Good question though, you certainly got me thinking. I know I didn't exactly answer your quiz, but I am explaining the physiology behind the question. As for being born beside cancer, it is possible physiologically speaking. Source(s): RN
"bradhurt", "lifeofwi", and "annabelr" are correct.
problematic because we can't use chemotherapy. It would harm the baby.
Mothers usually take their probability delaying treatment to spare the baby.

Whoa. I stand corrected by "Denisedd"
surprising it would be melanoma.
Metastatic melanoma is notorious for spreading anywhere.
It is the individual metastatic malignancy that seems to form metastatic lesions in the heart. But don't obtain the idea that this is common. It's like finding a zebra sagging out in a herd of horses in Montana. I suppose that happen too.

hate to disagree with Spreedog. He’s my favorite and I revise much from him, but yes it is possible for cancer to spread from mother to child. It is also possible to be born with cancer - I have seen 2 cases.

no, the baby does not get the cancer. it doesn't matter what class of cancer.

lamentably a lot of moms are in the tough spot of deciding:
1. whether or not travel ahead with their cancer treatments and potentially improve their chances for survival
2. whether or not to get the baby as best they can
