Abstract/OtherAbstract

|
Leukaemia in pregnancy is a rare presentation and not often reported. This is the first report of acute myeloblastic leukaemia (AML) in pregnancy from this environment. The diagnostic and therapeutic management of pregnant patient with cancer are especially difficult because two persons are involved, the mother and the foetus. Clear guidelines for the management of these cases are, therefore, necessary. We present our experience on two Nigerian women confirmed to have AML in pregnancy with a view to suggesting possible management guidelines for future use. <B>Keywords</B>: acute myeloblastic leukaemia, pregnancy, Nigeria <i> Highland Medical Research Journal </i> Vol. 3(2) 2005: 144-148 |
