Common risk factors in the development of choriocarcinoma are child-bearing age, previous [[hydatidiform mole]], and family history of gestational trophoblastic disease.<ref name=abc> Risk factors for gestational trophoblastic disease.

Common [[Risk factor|risk factors]] in the development choriocarcinoma include extremes of parental [[Reproduction|reproductive]] age, history of [[gestational trophoblastic disease]], [[Reproduction|reproductive]] factors such as [[Parity (medicine)|parity]] and abortion, parental [[Blood type|blood group]], [[oral contraceptive]] use, [[Genetics|genetic]] factors, and environmental and lifestyle factors.

===Known risk factors===
===Parental Age===
There is convincing evidence that the following factors increase your risk for gestational trophoblastic disease(GTD).<ref name=abc> Risk factors for gestational trophoblastic disease.

====Child-bearing age====
'''Maternal'''
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) occurs in women of child-bearing age. The risk is higher in women who become [[pregnant]] over the age of 40 and those who become[[ pregnant]] under the age of 20.
*The risk of choriocarcinoma increases progressively in women older than 25 years ([[relative risk]] 1·4).<ref name="pmid6705308">{{cite journal |vauthors=Buckley JD |title=The epidemiology of molar pregnancy and choriocarcinoma |journal=Clin Obstet Gynecol |volume=27 |issue=1 |pages=153–9 |date=March 1984 |pmid=6705308 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
====Previous hydatidiform mole====
*The risk increases more rapidly in women older than 39 years ([[relative risk]] 10·8).<ref name="pmid6705308">{{cite journal |vauthors=Buckley JD |title=The epidemiology of molar pregnancy and choriocarcinoma |journal=Clin Obstet Gynecol |volume=27 |issue=1 |pages=153–9 |date=March 1984 |pmid=6705308 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
Women who have a [[hydatidiform mole]], or molar pregnancy, are at a higher risk of having another one or having another type of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). A woman’s risk increases with a history of more than one hydatidiform mole.
*The risk is higher for women younger than 20 compared with women aged 20 – 24 years ([[relative risk]] 1·5).<ref name="pmid6705308">{{cite journal |vauthors=Buckley JD |title=The epidemiology of molar pregnancy and choriocarcinoma |journal=Clin Obstet Gynecol |volume=27 |issue=1 |pages=153–9 |date=March 1984 |pmid=6705308 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
====Family history of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD)====
 
Although it is rare, there is a type of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) that occurs in families. Therefore, a family history of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) may increase your risk.
'''Paternal'''
===Possible risk factors===
*A [[Case-control|case-control study]] by La Vecchia ''et al'' revealed increased risk of [[gestational trophoblastic disease]] in general in women with husbands older than 40 ([[Relative risk|RR]]= 1.6 [95% [[Confidence interval|CI]] 0·9 – 6·0] for age 41 - 45 years and [[Relative risk|RR]]= 4.9 [95% [[Confidence interval|CI]] 2·2 – 11·1] for age > 45 years).<ref name="pmid6088880">{{cite journal |vauthors=La Vecchia C, Parazzini F, Decarli A, Franceschi S, Fasoli M, Favalli G, Negri E, Pampallona S |title=Age of parents and risk of gestational trophoblastic disease |journal=J. Natl. Cancer Inst. |volume=73 |issue=3 |pages=639–42 |date=September 1984 |pmid=6088880 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
The following factors have been linked with gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD), but there is not enough evidence to show they are known risk factors. Further study is needed to clarify the role of these factors for gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD).<ref name= abc> Risk factors for gestational trophoblastic disease. Canadian Cancer Society. http://www.cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/cancer-type/gestational-trophoblastic-disease/risks/?region=ns. Accessed on October 7, 2015</ref>
*Paternal age > 45 years can also independently be associated with an increased risk of [[Complete hydatidiform mole|complete hydatidiform mole (CHM)]], a potential prerequisite of choriocarcinoma ([[Relative risk|RR]]= 2.9).<ref name="ParazziniVecchia1986">{{cite journal|last1=Parazzini|first1=F.|last2=Vecchia|first2=C.

====Oral contraceptives====
 
Several studies have shown a possible link between using [[oral contraceptives]] and an increased risk of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). But recent studies suggest that there is no association or that the association is weak.
===History of Gestational Trophoblastic Disease===
*Previous history of [[hydatidiform mole]] is associated with a 1000 – 2000 times increased risk of choriocarcinoma.<ref name="pmid6705308">{{cite journal |vauthors=Buckley JD |title=The epidemiology of molar pregnancy and choriocarcinoma |journal=Clin Obstet Gynecol |volume=27 |issue=1 |pages=153–9 |date=March 1984 |pmid=6705308 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
*The risk of choriocarcinoma after a [[Complete hydatidiform mole|complete hydatidiform mole (CHM)]] is about 2500 times higher than after a live birth.<ref name="pmid6705308">{{cite journal |vauthors=Buckley JD |title=The epidemiology of molar pregnancy and choriocarcinoma |journal=Clin Obstet Gynecol |volume=27 |issue=1 |pages=153–9 |date=March 1984 |pmid=6705308 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
 
===Reproductive Factors===
*Studies on [[gestational trophoblastic disease]] in general have shown a [[relative risk]] of 0·6 - 1·0 for [[Parity (medicine)|parous]] women compared with [[Parity (medicine)|nulliparous]] women.<ref name="BrintonWu1989">{{cite journal|last1=Brinton|first1=Louise A.|last2=Wu|first2=Bao-Zhen|last3=Wang|first3=Wen|last4=Ershow|first4=Abby G.|last5=Song|first5=Hong-Zhao|last6=Li|first6=Jun-Yao|last7=Bracken|first7=Michael B.|last8=Blot|first8=William J.|title=Gestational trophoblastic disease: A case-control study from the People's Republic of China|journal=American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology|volume=161|issue=1|year=1989|pages=121–127|issn=00029378|doi=10.1016/0002-9378(89)90248-2}}</ref><ref name="ParazziniLaVecchia1985">{{cite journal|last1=Parazzini|first1=Fabio|last2=LaVecchia|first2=Carlo|last3=Pampallona|first3=Sandro|last4=Franceschi|first4=Silvia|title=Reproductive patterns and the risk of gestational trophoblastic disease|journal=American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology|volume=152|issue=7|year=1985|pages=866–870|issn=00029378|doi=10.1016/S0002-9378(85)80079-X}}</ref><ref name="pmid2990199">{{cite journal |vauthors=La Vecchia C, Franceschi S, Parazzini F, Fasoli M, Decarli A, Gallus G, Tognoni G |title=Risk factors for gestational trophoblastic disease in Italy |journal=Am.

Some reproductive factors may increase the risk of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). These factors include [[infertility]], a history of [[miscarriage]], not having children, having had many children (5 or more), [[menarche]] after 12 years of age, and a light [[menstrual]] flow.

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
