- Abstract
Melanoma is one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed during pregnancy. Patients with advanced disease require frequent staging examinations (e.g., CT, PET, MRI, ultrasound), which, during pregnancy must be modified from routine protocol to minimize risk to the fetus. We will review the diagnostic and treatment approach to pregnant patients with melanoma, with a discussion and pictorial examples of imaging protocol modifications, and the appearance of metastatic melanoma on radiology exams using modified protocols due to pregnancy.
