Dilation and curettage (D&C)
- Many women with GTD are diagnosed during a D&C.
- D&C is also a treatment option for women with complete or partial hydatidiform moles that are diagnosed by HCG testing or ultrasound.
- D&C will not be done if the doctor suspects a gestational choriocarcinoma because this type of tumour bleeds very easily.
