Overview
Depending on the extent of the tumor at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as good.[1]
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- Patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) initially present with abnormal vaginal bleeding.[2]
- The vaginal bleeding can also be associated with elevation of βhCG.[3]
- In rare instances, patients can also initially present with symptoms related to distant metastasis to different organs.[4]
- Patients can experience nausea and vomiting similar to the course of normal pregnancy.
- The increase in the level of βhCG is anomalous and can be a major sign in diagnosis making.
- Abdominal growth may be at a faster rate than in normal pregnancy.
- If left untreated, patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia may develop metastatic lesions in different organs and can result in death.[5]
Complications
- Disseminated disease[6][7]
- Hemorrhagic shock[7]
- Massive hemoptysis[7][4]
- Acute abdomen[8]
- Ovarian hyperstimulation[9]
- Spontaneous renal hemorrhage[10]
- Severe hyperthyroidism[11][12]
- Cardiothyreosis[11]
- Death[5]
Prognosis
- The prognosis for cure of patients with GTDs is good even when the disease has spread to distant organs, especially when only the lungs are involved.[1]
- The probability of cure depends on the following:
- Histologic type (invasive mole or choriocarcinoma)
- Extent of spread of the disease/largest tumor size
- Level of serum beta-hCG
- Duration of disease from the initial pregnancy event to start of treatment
- Number and specific sites of metastasis
- Nature of antecedent pregnancy
- Extent of prior treatment
