What is Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia (GTN)?
Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia (GTN) is a rare group of tumors that involve abnormal growth of cells inside a woman's uterus. These tumors originate from the trophoblastic cells, which are responsible for the development of the placenta during pregnancy. GTN encompasses several conditions, including molar pregnancy (hydatidiform mole), invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, and placental-site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT).
