Do cancer survivors have a higher rate of miscarriage?
This is only a concern for a small percent of patients who had radiation to their pelvic area. Miscarriage, pre-term delivery and low birth-weight infants are more common in women who received radiation to their uterus. A specialist can evaluate whether there is damage to your uterus. To date, research does not suggest a higher rate of miscarriage rate after exposure to chemotherapy or radiation to other parts of the body.
