Efficacy of combination therapy of Methotrexate and Vitamin A in low risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia treatment
Introduction: Methotrexate as a single agent chemotherapy in most women with low risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) has been associated with high treatment rate. Combination of methotrexate with Vitamin A due to reduced number of chemotherapy regime courses is one of the treatment options for patients with low-risk GTN. Therefore, this study was performed with aim to determine the e...

متن کاملOutcome of treatment with EMA/EP (etoposide methotrexate and actinomycin-D/ etoposide and cisplatin) regimen in gestational trophoblastic neoplasia
Background: Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) originates from placental trophoblast and is a highly chemosensitive and curable gynecologic malignancy. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of EMA/EP (etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin-D, etoposide, and cisplatin) regimen in the treatment of high-risk GTN as well as patients’ outcome. &nb...

Earlier description of similar tumours failed to identify their tissue of origin.
