Gestational 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 کاملPresentation and management of molar pregnancy and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia in Latin America 1 13 PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT OF MOLAR PREGNANCY AND GESTATIONAL TROPHOBLASTIC NEOPLASIA IN LATIN AMERICA
Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD) in Latin America (LA) has a wide range of presentation and management, depending on socioeconomic, political and geographic variables [1,2,3]. Thus, while some referral centers have sophisticated methods for an early and accurate diagnosis and treatment, still there are a high number of patients admitted with a late Hydatidiform Mole (HM) or advanced Gest...
متن کاملIs Doppler ultrasound useful for evaluating gestational trophoblastic disease?
UNLABELLED Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive method for evaluating vascularization and is widely used in clinical practice. Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia includes a group of highly vascularized malignancies derived from placental cells. This review summarizes data found in the literature regarding the applications of Doppler ultrasound in managing patients with gestational trophoblasti...
متن کاملManagement 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 کاملThe risk of post-molar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia is higher in heterozygous than in homozygous complete hydatidiform moles.
BACKGROUND Complete hydatidiform mole (CHM) is a high-risk pregnancy for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). Patients with CHM have a 10-30% chance of trophoblastic sequelae. CHM includes androgenic homozygous (monospermic) and androgenic heterozygous (dispermic) moles. It is controversial whether the risk of GTN is higher with heterozygous than with homozygous CHM. A prospective cohort ...
