BACKGROUND Predictive factors of damage to the Fallopian tube may guide the treatment for patients with tubal pregnancy. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of the following parameters: gestational age, serum beta-hCG concentrations and ultrasound findings. METHODS A total of 105 patients with ampullary pregnancy undergoing salpingectomy were analysed. Trophoblastic invas...

As epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) shares similar clinical features with other gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTNs), it is likely to be clinically misdiagnosed and subsequently treated in an improper way. This study aimed to identify the sonographic features of ETT that are distinct from other GTNs, including placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) and invasive mole/choriocarcinom...

Choriocarcinoma is an aggressive trophoblastic neoplasm; its origin could be gestational or non-gestational.  Most are gestational, which means they arise from pregnancy, may abnormal normal. This review includes the published literature about choriocarcinoma's prevalence and risk factors. The researchers searched Science Direct, PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science, Cochrane library, Scopus....

Gestational trophoblastic disease is a condition of uncertain etiology, comprised of hydatiform mole (complete and partial), invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, and placental site trophoblastic tumor. It arises from abnormal proliferation of trophoblastic tissue. Early diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease and its potential complications is important for timely and successful management of...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of surgery in the management of high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. STUDY DESIGN Twenty-four (48%) of 50 patients treated with etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin D, cyclophosphamide and vincristine (EMA-CO) regimen as primary or secondary chemotherapy for high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia between 1986 and 2005 underwent 28 adjuvant surgi...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to assess the predictive role of the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for invasion of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 127 women who were managed at our clinic for GTD. Of all patients, 8 showed invasion according to histological examination. The clinical parameters of patients wit...
