Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) comprises a spectrum of disorders from the pre-malignant conditions of complete (CHM) and partial (PHM) hydatidiform moles through to the malignant invasive mole, choriocarcinoma (CC) and very rare placental site trophoblastic tumour/epithelioid trophoblastic tumour (PSTT/ETT). The malignant forms of the disease are also collectively known as gestational trophoblastic tumours or neoplasia (GTN). In the UK, all GTD cases are nationally registered, with central pathology review. The incidence is estimated at 1-3: 1000 pregnancies for CHM and 3: 1000 pregnancies for PHM, respectively, with other western countries reporting similar data [1]. GTD appears to be more frequent in Asia than in North America or Europe. This may be because of discrepancies between hospital-and population-based data, availability of central pathological review or may reflect dietary and genetic influences. An increased risk of molar pregnancy is seen in the very young (< 16 years), but is most associated with advanced maternal age (> 45 years)[1]. Following a molar pregnancy, the risk of a further CHM or PHM increases to∼ 1%. After two molar gestations, the risk of a third mole is 15%–20% and is not decreased by changing partners.The frequency of CC and PSTT is less clear, since these can arise after any type of pregnancy. CC develops after around 1: 50 000 deliveries, while recent data suggest that PSTT represents 0.2% of UK GTD cases [2]. GTN risk may also relate to hormonal factors since women with menarche after 12 years of age, light menstrual flow and prior use of oral contraceptives are at increased risk. Additionally, the subsequent risk of malignancy following a hydatidiform mole (HM) has been linked in some but not all series to oral contraceptives, if started while the human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) is still elevated [1]. This hormone is essential for the diagnosis, management and subsequent surveillance of GTD and details regarding hCG and its measurement are provided in Box 1.
