Abstract
|
|
|
|
Gastric cancer associated with pregnancy is extremely rare and the information on this particular subject is limited. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite are common during pregnancy but also can be the only symptoms in stomach cancer until the late stage. Clinicians’ reluctance to pursue diagnostic studies appears to be a major contributing factor of delayed diagnosis and poor outcome. A 33-year-old-women at 30 weeks gestation with advanced gastric cancer died sixteen days after emergency cesarean delivery. We report this case to alert clinicians to this rare possibility.
