Genetic Studies on Hydatidiform Moles

  • Chapter
Human Trophoblast Neoplasms

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 176))

Abstract

In this article the term gestational trophoblastic tumor is used to describe both invasive mole and choriocarcinoma and thus includes a nonmalignant and a malignant condition. This difficulty with nomenclature arises because when patients being treated with chemotherapy for a gestational trophoblastic tumor are studied, a histological diagnosis is not available in the majority of cases.
