Overview

Common risk factors in the development choriocarcinoma include extremes of parental reproductive age, history of gestational trophoblastic disease, reproductive factors such as parity and abortion, parental blood group, oral contraceptive use, genetic factors, and environmental and lifestyle factors.

Risk factors

Parental Age

Maternal

  • The risk of choriocarcinoma increases progressively in women older than 25 years (relative risk 1·4).[1]
  • The risk increases more rapidly in women older than 39 years (relative risk 10·8).[1]
  • The risk is higher for women younger than 20 compared with women aged 20 – 24 years (relative risk 1·5).[1]

Paternal

History of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease

Reproductive Factors

  • The risk of choriocarcinoma also increases with the history of abortion. Relative risk for 1 and 2 abortions is 1.2 (95% CI: 0·5–2·9) and 0.8 (95% CI: 0·3 – 2·5) respectively.[7]
  • A study on choriocarcinoma from Vietnam has shown a relative risk of 0·3 for a history of induced abortions.[7]

Parental Blood Group

Oral Contraceptives

Genetic Factors

Mutation in the following genes has been associated with recurrent hydatidiform mole:

Environmental and Lifestyle Factors
