CHANGES IN THE INCIDENCE OF GESTATIONAL TROPHOBLASTIC DISEASE - 2000-2010 - OUR EXPERIENCE
Journal Title: Acta Facultatis Medicae Naissensis - Year 2012, Vol 29, Issue 1
Abstract
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a group of rare tumors that involve abnormal growth of cells inside a woman's uterus. The aim of the paper was to report the incidence of GTD in the University Hospital Center during a ten-year period. The retrospective analysis involved all medical records of women who were treated for GTD in our clinic. Histopathologic report of abortion specimen with gestational trophoblastic disease was registered and we calculated the incidence of births, abortions and total pregnancies. There were 104 patients who were treated in our clinic. The overall incidence of GTD was 1,26 per 1000 deliveries. According to our experience, a lower socio economic status may be a risk factor for GTD, apart from younger age, at least one delivery and more abortions in anamnesis.
