Management of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia
It is just 100 years since Marchand [1] identified choriocarcinoma as a tumour arising from placental villous trophoblast. Earlier description of similar tumours failed to identify their tissue of origin. Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD) is the terminological umbrella now used to span the spectrum of cellular proliferations ranging from villous forms of hydatiform mole through invasive m...
متن کاملCurrent management of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasms are malignant lesions that arise from placental villous and extravillous trophoblast. Four clinicopathologic conditions make up this entity: invasive mole (IM), choriocarcinoma (CCA), placental-site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT), and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT). IM and CCA, which make up the majority of these tumors, are highly responsive to chemothera...
متن کاملGestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
Trophoblastic neoplasms are a truly fascinating set of diseases that arise from a failed gestation. A molar pregnancy is an allograft of fetal tissue typically containing only paternal chromosomes that may invade the maternal decidua following a failed gestation that may have arisen up to decades earlier. Choriocarcinoma (CCA), the most common malignant form of trophoblastic disease, represente...
متن کاملGestational trophoblastic disease II: classification and management of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) includes invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor, and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor. The overall cure rate in treating these tumors is currently >90%. Thorough evaluation and staging allow selection of appropriate therapy that maximizes chances for cure while minimizing toxicity. Nonmetastatic (stage I) and low-risk metastat...
متن کاملCurrent Chemotherapeutic Management of Patients with Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) describes a heterogeneous group of interrelated lesions that arise from abnormal proliferation of placental trophoblasts. GTN lesions are histologically distinct, malignant lesions that include invasive hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT). GTN tumors are generally highly...
