Transcriptomic Characterization of Postmolar Gestational Choriocarcinoma. [PDF]
The human placenta shares properties with solid tumors, such as rapid growth, tissue invasion, cell migration, angiogenesis, and immune evasion. However, the mechanisms that drive the evolution from premalignant proliferative placental diseases—called hydatidiform moles—to their malignant counterparts, gestational choriocarcinoma, as well as the ...

Precision Diagnosis and Individualized Therapy of Non-Gestational Choriocarcinoma Invading the Corpus Uteri and Cervix: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Non‐gestational choriocarcinoma (NGCC) is a rare type of malignant tumor. Primary lesions are typically detected in the ovary and rarely invade the corpus uteri and cervix. NGCC usually has a poor prognosis due to the difficulty in achieving early and accurate diagnoses because of its rarity.

Choriocarcinoma in the Cervix: Case Report of a Challenging Differential Diagnosis. [PDF]
Background Primary cervical choriocarcinoma in abortion curettage tissue is extremely rare and represents a diagnostic challenge. It is a serious condition that requires prompt and targeted therapeutic management. This case report describes the diagnostic evaluation, taking into account relevant differential diagnoses and highlighting the importance of

Uterine Rupture on Invasive Molar Pregnancy Revealing a Choriocarcinoma: Case Report from a Low-Income Country. [PDF]
Introduction Gestational trophoblastic diseases are rare entities encompassing a wide spectrum of benign and malignant placental pathologies. Uterine rupture is primarily related to a uterine scar and, exceptionally, following an invasive mole or gestational choriocarcinoma.

Incidental Intraplacental Choriocarcinoma in the Setting of Intrauterine Fetal Demise. [PDF]
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a rare group of pregnancy‐related diseases involving the abnormal transformation of placental cells with metastatic potential. GTN includes choriocarcinomas, epithelioid trophoblastic tumors, placental site trophoblastic tumors, and invasive moles.

Gestational choriocarcinoma and thyrotoxicosis [PDF]
A case of a 26-year-old woman with metastatic choriocarcinoma and clinical and biochemical thyrotoxicosis is described. This represents the eighth reported case of the association of choriocarcinoma and thyrotoxicosis. Serial monitoring of serum thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels correlated precisely with the beta sub-unit ...

Adhesive and degradative properties of human placental cytotrophoblast cells in vitro. [PDF]
Human fetal development depends on the embryo rapidly gaining access to the maternal circulation. The trophoblast cells that form the fetal portion of the human placenta have solved this problem by transiently exhibiting certain tumor-like properties ...
