Abstract

Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia (GTN) arises from placental tissue and is one of the few human malignancies that can be healed even if it has spread widely. GTN refers to a group of cancers that include hydatidiform moles, invasive moles, choriocarcinoma, and placental site trophoblastic tumours, all of which have various propensities for local invasion and spread. The purpose of this study was to summarise current knowledge of the natural history of molar pregnancy and persistent gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN), as well as recent improvements in their treatment.

Keywords: EMACO chemotherapy, Stages of GTN.
