Management of cancer during pregnancy requires careful consideration risks and benefits from maternal fetal perspectives. For advanced lung adenocarcinomas, with no targetable driver mutations, there is evidence-based guidance on the use carboplatin–paclitaxel chemotherapy after first trimester. In contrast, for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged metastatic a paucity clinical data safety EGFR ALK tyrosine inhibitors to mother fetus...
