Journal Title: IP International Journal of Medical Paediatrics and Oncology - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Gestational trophoblastic disease comprises hydatidiform mole (complete and partial) and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. The epidemiology, clinical features, and diagnosis of each of these trophoblastic disease types are discussed. Importance is given to management of hydatidiform mole prophylactic chemotherapy. Around 10% of all hydatidiform moles become malignant; an estimated 8-15% of complete and 1.5-6% of partial hydatidiform moles
