Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common malignancy among women, posing significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges during pregnancy. Case presentation: This case report presents the treatment of a 32-year-old pregnant woman diagnosed with cervical cancer. Following the diagnosis at 7 weeks of gestation, histological and imaging examinations were performed, leading to the initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Due to the tumor progression noticed under therapy, cesarean section was performed at 29 weeks, immediately followed by radical hysterectomy. Conclusions: The management of cervical cancer during pregnancy necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, based on the patient’s condition, tumor stage, and fetal maturity. This case highlights the limitations and complexities of treating cervical cancer during pregnancy and emphasizes the importance of individualized oncological and surgical planning.
