Laparoscopic hysterectomy as a treatment modality for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia: A report of two cases [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2022 Introduction. Measuring the serum levels of human chorionic gonadotropin beta isoform (β-hCG) remains a crucial marker for diagnosing gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTNs). Choriocarcinoma is commonly diagnosed due to extremely high levels of β-hCG,
