The incidence of cancer diagnosed during pregnancy is relatively rare: about 1 out of 1000 pregnant women. However, it always represents a difficult situation because both the mother and the baby are concerned. When a cancer is diagnosed, several therapeutic strategies can be envisaged: surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy either during pregnancy or alter the child's birth. The first option requires a serious evaluation of the risks for the mother and the development of the fetus and of the child after birth. When chemotherapy is considered, risks are: neonatal death, congenital malformations, preterm births, low birth's weights and others problems during child's development. For the mother, there are some problems too. In particular, during the pregnancy, various parameters influencing pharmacokinetics are altered and drug administration becomes more difficult to handle. Generally, cytotoxic antitumor drugs are not given during the first trimester of the pregnancy because it's the period of organogenesis and the risk of malformations is therefore higher. Chemotherapy is often initiated during the second and third trimesters to reduce such risks for the child. Important questions are to know to which extent anticancer drugs are teratogens and whether some should be preferred to others. This requires the assessment of the transplacental transfer of drugs and the capacity to prevent or correct their side effects. Studies have been performed on animals, usually mice, rats or rabbits, and can reasonably be extrapolated to humans, but with a great caution.

Quatrième de couverture : "This book provides a readable introduction to modern toxicology with a particular focus on the mechanisms underlying the induction of toxicity by foreign substances. Since bioactivation is central to many toxic syndromes, special interest is devoted to chemicals that undergo conversion to toxic metabolites that induce toxic effects as diverse as cancer, birth defects and organ injury. The molecular consequences accompanying damage to cellular DNA and proteins is explored together with the relevance of toxicological paradigms to human diseases caused by alcohol and tobacco. The discipline of toxicology has developed rapidly since the thalidomide disaster in the 1960’s as scientists worldwide seek to understand the adverse health effects of human medicines, environmental pollutants, consumer chemicals and industrial reagents. An Introduction to Toxicology is intended to supplement the recommended reading list of undergraduate and graduate programs in toxicology and pharmacology as an enjoyable, accessible primer with illustrations that “unpack” the concepts being discussed in the text."
