Other names: Chorioblastoma
Gestational trophoblastic disease is an aggressive, malignant, often metastatic (spreading to other organs) cancer in the womb which begins following a pregnancy (particularly one with hydatidiform mole), a miscarriage, or an abortion.
Choriocarciona is among the most sensitive cancers to chemotherapy. As such, even when choriocarcinoma is metastatic, the cure rate is between 90 and 95%.
