Ethical Considerations • 1st Trimester • MRM (procedure of choice), in spite of increased risk spontaneous abortion following anesthesia • Chemotherapy - 12% risk of birth defects and risk for spontaneous abortion • 2nd Trimester • MRM (procedure of choice) • Chemotherapy – no evidence of teratogenicity
Ethical Considerations • 3rdTrimester • Lumpectomy with axillary node dissection if adjuvent radiation therapy if deferred until delivery • Chemotherapy: no evidence of teratogenicity • Prognosis is similar, stage by stage, to that of nonpregnant Breast CA patients
Ethical Considerations • Upon questioning, the patient was willing to undergo chemotherapy and surgery in spite of the risk of spontaneous abortion to the fetus • According to her and her family, it is more important to have her cured • She finds herself unable to continue the pregnancy if she still has cancer
Ethical Considerations • Philippine Constitution Article 2, Sec 12: • The State recognizes the sanctity of family life and shall protect and strengthen the family as a basic autonomous social institution. It shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception. The natural and primary right and duty of parents in the rearing of the youth for civic efficiency and the development of moral character shall receive the support of the Government.
Ethical Considerations • Grounds on which abortion is permitted in the Philippines: • To save the life of a woman YES • To preserve physical health NO • To preserve mental health NO • Rape/incest NO • Fetal impairment NO • Economic/social reasons NO • Available on request NO
Ethical Considerations • Authorization of an abortion requires consultation with a panel of professionals
