Pregnancy & Stomach Cancer: Risks and Considerations

It is not recommended to get pregnant if you have stomach cancer. Stomach cancer can affect the health of both the mother and the baby during pregnancy. Treatments for stomach cancer, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, can also have harmful effects on the developing fetus. Additionally, the physical and emotional stress of pregnancy can further complicate the management of stomach cancer. Therefore, it is important to discuss with your healthcare team before considering pregnancy if you have stomach cancer.
