Gestational trophoblastic tumor

Choriocarcinoma is a gestational trophoblastic tumor which causes high mortality if left untreated. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non protein-coding RNAs which inhibit target gene expression. The role of miRNAs in choriocarcinoma, however, is not well understood. In this study, we examined the effect of miR-34a in choriocarcinoma.

A persistent low-level elevation of serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) without clinical or radiological evidence of pregnancy or tumors was recently defined as quiescent gestational trophoblastic disease (Q-GTD). Whether patients with Q-GTD should be treated or allowed to become pregnant remains unclear.

Neo-angiogenesis is an early sign of cancers. This study assessed if among low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (LR-GTN) patients, the uterine artery pulsatility index (UAPI), which is a measure of tumor vascularity, can be an independent predictor to resistance to methotrexate chemotherapy (MTX-R).

The spectrum of GTD includes: Choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic Risk factors for GTD are: tumor PSTT) and epithelioid trophoblastic; teenage pregnancies tumor (ETT) which are all malignant degenera; pregnancies in women above the age of 35 years tions of placental tissue. Very rarely no antecedent; history of molar pregnancy: the risk of recur-pregnancy can be identified. PSTT and ETT are rence is 1% after one molar pregnancy and rare and are not discussed further in this book.
