The immune system in disease: gestational trophoblastic tumours
Abstract
Trophoblastic tumours form a spectrum of disease from the borderline malignancy of HM to highly aggressive choriocarcinoma. Their management requires the integration of the information derived from serial hCG estimations, the clinical history and pattern of spread of the disease, so that our understanding of the prognostic variables can be applied appropriately. This maximizes the patient's chances of complete remission from her disease with the minimum of toxicity. Given our knowledge of this group of diseases and an integrated approach to management, it should be uncommon for any woman to die from her trophoblastic tumour.
