Abstract EN
Objective.
The aim of this study was to determine whether pregnancy increases the recurrence risk of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) in women with a history of stage I CMM.
Methods.
The electronic medical databases of Medline and Embase were explored.
All 1084 obtained articles were screened on title and abstract using predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
A critical appraisal of relevance and validity was conducted on the remaining full text available articles.
Results.
Two studies were selected.
Both studies revealed no significant difference in disease-free survival between women with stage I CMM and the control population.
Conclusion.
Pregnancy does not increase the recurrence risk of CMM in women with a history of stage I CMM.
