What is Gestational trophoblastic disease?

Gestational trophoblastic disease is a quick growing form of cancer that occurs in a woman's uterus after a pregnancy, miscarriage, or abortion. It is usually metastatic, which means it spreads to other places in the body.

Gestational trophoblastic disease is also called a choriocarcinoma.

Alternative Names:

Chorioblastoma; Choriocarcinoma; Trophoblastic tumor; Chorioepithelioma; Invasive/malignant mole; Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia
