Surprising Findings: Prenatal Blood Tests Can Show Hidden Cancers.
Reading
Some pregnant women take blood tests to check their babies for health problems. These tests sometimes find signs of cancer in the mothers.
A study looked at 107 pregnant women who had unusual blood test results. Over half of them were found to have cancer.
Most of the women in the study were treated for cancer and are now doing well. Sadly, a few women with advanced cancer did not survive.
The blood test looks at small pieces of DNA in the mother's blood. These pieces of DNA can come from the baby or from cancer cells.
This new finding is important because it can help doctors find cancer in pregnant women earlier. More research is needed to determine the best way to screen for cancer in these women.
