gestational trophoblastic neoplasia ( gtn) is one of the most common gynecologic tumors in our country. despite development of effective chemotherapy: some cases remain resistant and if there is only focus of tumor, resection would be indicated.we present a young woman with stage 1 persistant gtn showing no response to chemotherapy. transvaginal sonograpy revealed trophoblastic tissue in the ut...

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...

Gestational trophoblastic disease describes a number of gynaecological tumours that originate in the trophoblast layer, including hydatidiform mole (complete or partial), placental site trophoblastic tumour, choriocarcinoma and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). Invasive moles are responsible for most cases of localized GTN. Two cases of GTN previously reported in the literature exhibit...

It is universally recognized that an accurate and precise staging and classification system for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is essential to enable clinicians to assess the prognosis or the risk of patients, to individualize and to optimize their treatment. There have been a variety of staging and classification systems developed by different centres and some are still being used. ...

  Background : Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) refers to malignant lesions that arise from abnormal proliferation of placental trophoblast. Even in its metastatic forms GTN is curable with a cure rate of 90-100 %. Currently, methotrexate with or without folic acid, andactinomycin D is recommended for low risk GTN. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of methotrexate and ac...

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is the term to describe a set of malignant placental diseases, including invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor. Both invasive mole and choriocarcinoma respond well to chemotherapy, and cure rates are greater than 90%. Since the advent of chemotherapy, low-risk GTN has been treated with a s...

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...

( Obstet Gynecol . 2021;137:355–370) Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) refers to rare processes originating from the placenta that require timely and appropriate management. GTD includes partial or complete hydatidiform moles (HM), as well severe gestational neoplasia (GTN) related tumors. Obstetrician-gynecologists are more likely be involved in care of women with HM who have unclear dia...

BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a disease of the proliferative trophoblastic allograft. Diagnosis and treatment of GTN in low resource-income countries is challenging due to numerous factors. The objective of this study was to review outcomes of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia in women of low socioeconomic status with limited resources and social suppo...
