Live birth following treatment of post molar choriocarcinoma

Nepal Med Coll J. 2009 Mar;11(1):66-8.

Abstract

A G3P(1+1) who underwent dilatation and curettage (D and C) for persistent vaginal bleeding after a month of molar evacuation, underwent successful treatment of choriocarcinoma with methotrexate and was able to have normal baby weighing 2800 gms with good Apgar score and normal placenta. This shows that a normal menstruation and uncomplicated term delivery can be expected after complete chemotherapy for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN).
