AB  - Breast  cancer  is  the  most  common  malignancy  in  women  worldwide  and  is  also  the  most  frequent  tumor  during  pregnancy.1  While  some  of  these  cancers  are  linked  to  genetic  aberrations  (and  require  genetic  counseling),  they  are  most  frequently  sporadic.  The  diagnosis  and  management  of  breast  cancer  become  more  challenging  in  premenopausal  women,  when  fertility  preservation  issues  come  into  play  for  women  who  have  not  yet  completed  childbearing  age.  Although  advances  have  been  made  in  reproductive  medicine,  the  cancer  and  its  treatment  may  limit  its  use.  Oncofertility  issues  need  to  be  addressed  and  dealt  with  from  the  beginning  of  the  oncological  approach  to  maximize  opportunities  for  obtaining  a  successful  breast  cancer  outcome  and,  simultaneously,  fertility  preservation.  Breast  cancer  occurring  during  pregnancy  demands  a  multidisciplinary  approach  to  address  the  health  of  both  the  mother  and  the  fetus.
