Abstract: Pregnancy associated breast cancer (PABC) has many special characteristics, such as the clinical manifestation, pathology, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Due to the delay of diagnosis, the survival rate is low and the prognosis is poor. Early diagnosis and comprehensive individualized treatment with operation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are needed to improve the prognosis of patients and prolong the survival period.
