Mücərrəd
Sixty patients who developed persistent or metastatic gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) received primary oral etoposide therapy (VP 16-213). Twelve patients had metastatic GTD. Fifty-nine patients achieved biochemical remission. One patient had marked nausea and vomiting and the therapy was switched to a methotrexate/folinic acid regimen. Three patients developed relapse of GTD, giving a relapse rate of 5.1%. Etoposide is an active drug against choriocarcinoma. Its use should not be restricted to drug-resistant GTD.
