Abstract
Background: Because of a continued trend toward postponed childbearing, the incidence of pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) is likely to increase. This study investigated the mortality in women with PABC in relation to when the tumor was detected (during pregnancy, different postpartum periods) and by time since diagnosis, compared with women with non-PABC.Keywords
