Women with cancer treated with radiotherapy who become pregnant have an increased risk of poor fetal outcome. The case of a 27-year-old woman who became pregnant while receiving radiotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma and gave birth to a healthy infant is described. The authors suggest that careful evaluation of fetal exposure to radiation should be performed in each individual case to allow pregnant patients to decide on the fate of their pregnancy.
