6 days agoQuestions about pregnancy and melanoma immunotherapy are important, and there are no simple answers yet. Pregnant people are rarely included in clinical trials, so research on how pregnancy may affect immunotherapy is limited. A melanoma oncologist, ideally working with an obstetric specialist, can explain what is known for your situation. Community members who have faced similar questions are welcome to share their experiences, and it may help to write down questions for your next appointment.
