Abstract

The number of cases of melanoma of the skin is steadily increasing every year, which leads to an increase in cases of melanoma associated with pregnancy. To date, there is no convincing evidence of an increased risk of skin melanoma or death from melanoma during pregnancy, however, the treatment of such patients is not an easy task for oncologists. And if surgical treatment of patients with primary melanoma of the skin during pregnancy should be carried out according to modern standards, then the use of targeted drugs and checkpoint inhibitors has been little studied during pregnancy, therefore each individual case requires an individual approach. The article describes the clinical experience of the treatment of melanoma associated with pregnancy at the N.N. Blokhin National Research Medical Center of Oncology.
