Summary

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) are malignant lesions that arise from abnormal proliferation of placental trophoblast. The pathologic conditions that make up this entity include invasive partial and complete hydatidiform mole, choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT), and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT). GTN often arises after molar pregnancies but can also occur after any gestation including miscarriages and term pregnancies. In the United States, hydatidiform moles are observed in approximately 1/600 therapeutic abortions and 1/1000-2000 pregnancies . Most cases of GTN are diagnosed when the serum hCG levels plateau or rise in patients being observed after the diagnosis of hydatidiform mole.These malignancies are highly susceptible to chemotherapy and it is often possible to achieve cure while preserving the woman's reproductive function

Conditions

  • Gestational Trophoblastic Disease

Interventions

DRUG

rescue regimen

In the rescue regimen , we administer MTX in an eight-day treatment regimen consisting of four administrations of TX given at 1 mg/kg I.M. every other day with folinic acid 0.1 mg/kg I.M,. given on intervening days.

DRUG

high dose methotrxate

In the high dose MTX protocol, the patients will receive 100 mg/m2 intravenous (IV) MTX bolus followed by 200 mg/m2IV MTX infused over 12 hours followed by folinic acid
