How long does it take to get pregnant after breast cancer

How long does it take to get pregnant after breast cancer? Experts say there is no evidence that having children will affect the prognosis of breast cancer patients, but when choosing whether and when to have children, the patient's risk of disease recurrence and metastasis and the impact of treatment on offspring must be fully considered.

At present, domestic and foreign tend to:

1. Patients with breast carcinoma in situ, that is, without local invasion and distant metastasis, can consider having children after completing surgery and radiotherapy.

2. Patients with invasive breast cancer and negative lymph nodes can consider having children 2-3 years after surgery, because the period before this is the peak period for postoperative recurrence and metastasis.

3. Patients with lymph node-positive breast cancer can consider having children 5 years after surgery.

4. Patients who need auxiliary endocrine therapy should stop endocrine therapy three months before conception and continue endocrine therapy until they stop breastfeeding after giving birth.

Breast cancer does not affect the patient's fertility, but the timing must be chosen well. Generally, the peak of breast cancer recurrence is one and a half to two years after surgery, and these patients are advised to miss this time. Because some auxiliary treatments, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy may be performed in the first year, it is not appropriate to have children at this time, but the peak of recurrence is one and a half to two years. After this time, if there is no sign of recurrence two years later, you can consider having children. If breast cancer is in the late stage, the risk in the future is very high. At this time, comprehensive considerations are needed, and pregnancy needs to be cautious, weighing the pros and cons. There is also a view that it takes more than five years without any problems before considering pregnancy.
