Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for choriocarcinoma.
Surgery
Hysterectomy
Surgery is one of the main treatments for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.[1] The indication for surgery include:
- Primary treatment for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia
- Recurrence of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia after other treatments
Hysterectomy
- Hysterectomy may be offered to women with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia that has not spread outside of the uterus and who no longer wish to have children.
- Hysterectomy may also be recommended to women with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia that does not respond to chemotherapy.
- Hysterectomy is the primary treatment for women with placental site trophoblastic tumours because this type of cancer does not respond well to chemotherapy.
Surgery to remove metastases
- Surgery may be done for gestational trophoblastic neoplasia that has spread to distant sites in the body, such as the brain, intestines, kidneys, liver, lungs, and spleen.
- In the case of brain metastases, surgery may only be done if a tumor is close to the surface of the brain.
