Question:
pregnant women (15 weeks) whose husband was making bladder cancer therapeutics with Methotrexate (30mg/m2 IV), cisplatin (70mg/m2 IV) and vinblastine (30mg/m2 IV) when she got pregnant. What are the fetal risk?
Answer:
The following information should not replace the assessment and advice you have been receiving from your physician (cancer specialist, obstetrician, or any other healthcare provider). It is offered for your information only. Consult your physician.
The question is not entirely clear. Presumably, the husband was receiving this chemotherapy. If this is the case- there is currently no evidence in humans of teratogenicity through sperm. Often the man does not have sufficiently viable sperm, but if sperm exist-there is no evidence of teratogenicity.
