Cervical cancer is one of the most common and challenging malignancies diagnosed during pregnancy, requiring a complex balance between effective oncological management and pregnancy preservation. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence and clinical experience regarding the management of cervical cancer in pregnant patients. While treatment should generally follow standard protocols for nonpregnant patients, emerging data suggest that pregnancy can often be safely maintained without compromising oncological outcomes. Nevertheless, robust prognostic data from larger patient cohorts are still needed. Individualized treatment approaches that incorporate the patient's preferences and values are crucial. Given the complexities involved, referral to specialized tertiary centers with expertise in the oncological and obstetric care of pregnant cancer patients is strongly recommended to ensure optimal outcomes for both mother and child.
