Doxorubicin in pregnancy: possible transplacental passage. 1983

G I Karp, and P von Oeyen, and F Valone, and V K Khetarpal, and M Israel, and R J Mayer, and F D Frigoletto, and M B Garnick

Two pregnant women with lymphoproliferative disorders were treated with doxorubicin-containing regimens. Both patients delivered shortly after a dose of doxorubicin. One child was healthy and the other was stillborn. Measurements of anthracycline levels in placental, cord, and fetal tissues by high-performance liquid chromatography suggest that doxorubicin may be transported across the placenta.
