NEW DELHI: Doctors at BLK-MAX Super Speciality Hospital have successfully delivered a healthy baby girl to a 32-year-old woman, who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia, a fast-growing blood cancer, in the fifth month of her pregnancy, officials said on Saturday.
According to the BLK-MAX Super Speciality Hospital, the woman from Madhya Pradesh was undergoing treatment for cancer, with doctors simultaneously monitoring her pregnancy to ensure the safety of both the mother and child.
Treating cancer during pregnancy is extremely rare and medically challenging, as chemotherapy and other treatment procedures can pose risks to the unborn child, doctors at the hospital said.
