Pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PrBC) affects about 4% of women with breast cancer who are of childbearing age. Managing these tumors is difficult due to interactions between the mother, fetus and tumor. These interactions cause changes in the immune system of patients with PrBC. Understanding how the immune system responds to PrBC may lead to better ways of managing the disease. This review focuses on the current knowledge of the immune system in PrBC, including which components can be used as biomarkers to improve clinical management.
