Introduction:
PABC is diagnosed during pregnancy or in the first postpartum year. It is the second most common malignancy affecting pregnancy is breast cancer which affects 1 in 3000. The average age of women with PABC is 32 to 38 years. Only 6.5% of all cases of breast cancer affect women age < 40 years. As more women are delaying childbearing, and as breast cancer rates continue to rise, more diagnoses of PABC are anticipated. However, because PABC is a relatively rare event surrounded by multiple variables, few studies address the best management and treatment options.
