If a women has Ovarian cancer can they still get pregnant?

Currently has or has had?

Ovarian cancer needs to be treated IMMEDIATELY (as it is a HIGHLY deadly form of cancer), which includes removal of the effected ovary. If only one ovary is effected, then it is possible for a woman to become pregnant AFTER her course of cancer treatment is complete. If however it is necessary for both ovaries to be removed, then her fertility is eliminated.

It is also possible for a woman to become pregnant while afflicted by ovarian cancer if she becomes pregnant prior to diagnosis. The treatment however will almost assuredly kill the fetus.

yes but i dont recommend it

It depends on the extent of the tumour, and the treatment options. If one ovary is involved, and the tumour has not spread, surgical removal would be an option. This would leave the remaining ovary functional. If the cancer has spread locally, or metastasised, a partial or full histerectomy may be required, which would render the woman infertile. If chemotherapeutic drugs must be used at any stage, it would be important for the woman to consider freezing eggs from the healthy ovary before treatment was begun.
