gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (gtn)

What are the Treatment Options for GTN?

Treatment for GTN depends on the type and stage of the disease. The mainstay of treatment is chemotherapy, which is highly effective for most cases of GTN. Low-risk cases are often treated with single-agent chemotherapy, such as methotrexate or actinomycin-D. High-risk cases may require multi-agent chemotherapy regimens. Surgery, including hysterectomy, may be necessary for persistent disease or in cases where fertility preservation is not a concern. In some instances, radiation therapy may be used if there is metastasis to the brain.
