A member asked:
Can you please list the risks associated with conceiving under radiation treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be significant: While there are articles that describe how to successfully treat patients who are already pregnant and require radiation therapy during the pregnancy, it is generally recommended to avoid becoming pregnant during treatment because of potential risks of both long and short term damage to the fetus, including but not limited to birth defects, chromosomal abnormalities and spontaneous miscarriage.
