Women with postmolar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia who have failure of first-line chemotherapy and then are referred to a specialty center have a longer time to remission and require more lines of chemotherapy than women treated only after referral.

p57 immunohistochemistry reliably distinguishes partial from complete hydatidiform moles. Additional ancillary testing for identifying misclassification of moles is not significantly better than histology alone in predicting progression to gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.

In treating high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia with multiagent chemotherapy, granulocyte colony-stimulating factors administered as primary prophylaxis or secondarily decreases morbidity, treatment delays, and dose reductions, resulting in improved outcomes.

Second-line regimens for low-risk postmolar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia resistant to single-agent treatment had similar remission rates. Courses of chemotherapy is an independent predictor of remission.

This is a retrospective cohort study to determine the significance of pulmonary metastases diagnosed only by chest computed tomography on the outcome of patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.

Elias, M.D., Neil S. Horowitz, M.D., and Ross S. Berkowitz, M.D.
Management of less severe bleeding complications of uterine arteriovenous malformations with depot medroxyprogesterone acetate and tranexamic acid is reasonable.

Patients with high-risk metastatic gestational trophoblastic neoplasia should be treated primarily with EMA-CO combination chemotherapy, while surgery still plays a valuable role in the disease management.

Elias, M.D., Neil Horowitz, M.D., Ross Berkowitz, M.D., and the Brazilian Network for Gestational Trophoblastic Disease Study Group
Due to the lack of robust scientific evidence regarding the management of gestational trophoblastic disease, consensus agreement among experts can be valuable.

Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor is a rare trophoblastic neoplasm that is poorly responsive to chemotherapy; therefore, surgical resection is key in the management of this disease.
