[Gestational trophoblastic disease, Villous gestational trophoblastic disease].

Der Pathologe, 2004
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) represents a wide range of clinical and pathological distinct entities. The villous forms of GTD includes developmental disorders of the placental tree, like blighted ovum, embryonal, partial and complete moles. The risk of persistent GTD is estimated of 2-14% in partial and up to 50% in complete moles.

Gestational trophoblastic diseases and their treatment

Cancer Treatment Reviews, 1997
Abstract In purely clinical terms, the treatment of GTD can be shown to be extremely cost-effective. Gestational trophoblastic tumours are highly chemo-sensitive, and good-quality normal life expectancy in patients of child-bearing age can be expected (52, 53).

Familial Gestational Trophoblastic Disease

Placenta, 2003
Familial molar pregnancies and gestational trophoblastic disease are exceedingly rare. In this case report, a family including four sisters and their cousin had molar pregnancies. Eldest sister had repeated molar pregnancies. Second sister had early abortion at her first pregnancy and partial molar pregnancy following blighted ovum by intrauterine ...

The Role of Surgery in Gestational Trophoblastic Disease

Tumori Journal, 1983
Fifty-eight consecutive patients with malignant trophoblastic tumors of gestational origin were treated at the 1st Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University of Milan between 1975 and 1981. Thirty-five (60.3%) of the patients were treated with combined surgery and chemotherapy.

On the Nature of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease

1984
It is for me most gratifying to be called upon to serve as your Honorary President for this First World Congress of Trophoblastic Disease. Your kindness in providing me with this acknowledgement is most satisfying reward for over three decades of effort toward the resolution of some of the problems we shall review.

Epidemiology of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America
Worldwide incidence rates of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) are difficult to estimate and compare due to large methodological differences within and between countries. Asia has generally reported higher incidence rates than Europe and North America, but modern reports have demonstrated a temporal decrease of GTD incidence rates in Asia and an ...

The epidemiology of gestational trophoblastic disease.

General & diagnostic pathology, 1997
Considerable progress has been made in the knowledge of the epidemiology of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) in the last few years. There are two main and widely known points related to this disease: its geographical distribution and the different frequency in the various classes of age. GTD is more frequent in South-East Asia, India and Africa,

Epidemiology of gestational trophoblastic disease

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1984
The epidemiology of gestational trophoblastic disease is not well understood. Methodologic problems with published reports limit the interpretation of incidence data, although the frequency of hydatidiform mole appears to be about one per 1000 pregnancies. No consistent temporal trends in rates of either hydatidiform mole or choriocarcinoma are evident.

Pathology of gestational trophoblastic diseases

Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2003
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a heterogeneous group of diseases. This used to include partial and complete hydatidiform moles, invasive mole, choriocarcinoma and placental site trophoblastic tumour. In recent years, new entities, including epithelioid trophoblastic tumour, have been added to this family.

Gestational Trophoblastic Disease

Ultrasound Quarterly, 2005
Ultrasound is the modality of choice for evaluating normal or abnormal first trimester pregnancy. Sonography can usually provide a specific diagnosis in abnormal first trimester bleeding. When the sonographic appearance is correlated with the clinical presentation, accurate diagnosis is possible in most cases of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD).
