Researchers couldn’t determine what the abnormalities had to do with
The researchers couldn’t link these abnormalities to the genetic profiles of either the mothers or their foetuses.
The scientists realised that the genetic abnormalities resembled those found in
cancer and referred the women to
cancer doctors. The women were found to have three different types of early stage cancer: ovarian, follicular lymphoma and Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Without the prenatal testing, it’s likely the cancers would not have been detected until they were at a much later stage, according to the authors of the study.
Two of the three women received treatement. The cancer in the third woman was slow-growing and didn’t need treatment at that stage.
Findings from the study are scheduled to be presented Saturday at the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Genetics in Glasgow, Scotland, and published simultaneously in the journal JAMA Oncology.
“Considering the bad prognosis of some cancers when detected later, and given that we know that it is both possible and safe to treat the disease during pregnancy, this is an important added advantage of NIPT,” said principal investigator Joris Vermeesch in a society news release. He is head of the Laboratory for Cytogenetics and Genome Research at Leuven University in Belgium.
Researchers say some cancer symptoms might go unnoticed during pregnancy
During pregnancy, some cancer symptoms might go unnoticed because they’re similar to problems normally experienced in pregnancy, Vermeesch said. For example,
fatigue, nausea, abdominal
pain and vaginal blood loss can be normal in pregnancy, but can also be signs of cancer.

The real key to healing cancer is to wipe out the stealth disease lurking behind it...
I admit I was downright shocked when I found out that cancer isn't actually what kills most cancer patients! And I've been a doctor for well over 20 years - so not much surprises me anymore.
Even more astounding - this monumental discovery goes back to the 1970s when former US Air Force Dr Joseph Gold uncovered the REAL killer, a condition that no one in the medical field was even talking about!
That's right - the real culprit behind 3 out of every 4 cancer deaths isn't cancer at all. No! It's a syndrome you've probably never even heard of - called cachexia (pronounced "ka-kek-see-ah").
And if you or someone you love is battling cancer...
You definitely can't afford to ignore what could very well be the only natural compound that stops this stealth killer in its tracks.

“NIPT offers an opportunity for the accurate screening of high-risk women for cancer, allowing us to overcome the challenge of early diagnosis in pregnant women,” Vermeesch said.
Genetic testing can be used for more than just pregnant women
These findings suggest this type of genetic testing can be widely used, not just for pregnant women, as a diagnostic tool in the future. Researchers said larger-scale studies will be required to validate these results further.
