Is treatment possible if I develop gestational trophoblastic neoplasia?
Yes. Treatment is possible and is effective in most cases. About 1 in 200 women with partial moles and 15 in 100 women with complete moles will need treatment because hCG levels are not returning to normal. The exact treatment given depends on things such as your hCG levels, whether there is spread to other parts of the body, etc. Treatment involves injections of different medications (chemotherapy) such as methotrexate, etoposide and dactinomycin. Treatment is continued until your hCG level has returned to normal, and then for some weeks afterwards.
