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 (GTN) 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
