Despite the rarity, breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy implies multiple therapeutic dilemmas. The initial diagnostic process can be complicated by the physiological changes that occur in the breast during pregnancy, which can further lead to a delayed diagnosis.

It also discusses how to optimize a multidisciplinary approach to improve health outcomes for both the mother and the infant.
