| Title: | Surgery in metastatic trophoblastic disease | Authors: | Ratnam, S.S. Ilancheran, A. |
Issue Date: | 1982 | Citation: | Ratnam, S.S., Ilancheran, A. (1982). Surgery in metastatic trophoblastic disease. Seminars in Oncology 9 (2) : 221-223. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | The mainstay of treatment of metastatic trophoblastic disease is chemotherapy with meticulous follow-up using the most sensitive assays for hCG available. However, in selected cases, surgery has a definite place. It is important that the decision to operate should not be unduly prolonged, since a prolonged delay in the institution of such therapy carries a poorer prognosis. The combination of surgery and chemotherapy to appropriately selected patients gives a survival of more than 70%. | Source Title: | Seminars in Oncology | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/133773 | ISSN: | 00937754 |
