Abstract 262P
Background
Gestational trophoblastic tumors (GTTs) are the malignant forms of gestational trophoblastic diseases. They always follow a pregnancy, most often molar. The diagnosis of TTG is based on an abnormal course of HCG (chorionic gonadotropin hormone) and / or signs of ultrasound invasion and/or histological confirmation.
Methods
it is a retrospective study of 29 cases of GTT collected at the medical oncology department of Hassan II University Hospital-Fez, over a period of 7 years from January 2010 to December 2016.
Results
The average age was 35 years old. Sixty-five percent (65%) of our patients were pauciparous. The causal pregnancy was in 83% of cases a molar pregnancy. The staging of patients revealed pulmonary metastases in 67% of cases, liver in 19% of cases, renal in 7% of cases and cerebral in 7% of cases. Nine patients (31 %) underwent hysterectomy, with postoperative chemotherapy for 8 patients. Fifty-two percent (52%) were at high risk while 48% were low risk. Low risk patients received methotrexate-based monochemotherapy, and HCG hormone became negative after an average of 6.5 cycles. High risk patients received a polychemotherapy with differents protocols used; EMA-CO, BEP, or Cisplatin-Etoposid-MTX protocol, after an average of 3.28 cycles, the HCG hormone became negative. Eighty-six percent of our patients benefited from clinical and biological monitoring. The evolution of our patients was marked by a complete clinical and biological remission in 89.65% of patients, after an average of 12 weeks. The median survival was 76.4 ± 2.7 months, after a median follow-up of 29.78 months.
Conclusions
Malignant gestational trophoblastic tumors are a rare and challenging disease with heavy psychosocial impact hat affect the young woman who has not only had a pregnancy loss but also may be faced with a life-threatening illness. More understanding of risk factors, carcinogenesis and management is required to improve the outcome of thes patients. larger studies are still needed.
