Abstract
Aim: To investigate the clinicopathologic features and treatment procedures of the patients who diagnosed as Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD). Methods: Thirty-four patients who pre-diagnosed as GTD between the years 2003-2013 included to this investigation. Descriptive and clinicopathologic features, treatment and follow-up results of the patients investigated retrospectively. Results: Totally 27 hydatiform mole (HM) (15 of them complete and 12 of them partial) and 7 non-metastatic gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (NM-GTN) case was found in 10 years period of time. The mean age of the patients was 331,37± 9,27 (16-52), the pregnancy rate was 2,7± 1,5 (0-7), parity rate was 1,13± 1,03 (0-4), the abortus and history of molar pregnancy rates were 0,35± 0,58 (0-2) ve 0,15± 0,44 (0-2), respectively. Three recurrences (8,8%) was seen in HM cases and two of them needed repeat curettage (R/C) and the other one needed hystetectomy and all the three cases survived. Single agent chemotheraphy was been successful in all the GTN cases. Conclusion: GTD is a curable condition with early diagnosis, adequate management and follow-up. Complications due to treatment should be kept in mind. © 2014, Gunes Kitap Kirtasiye. All rights reserved.
