Cerebral metastases from choriocarcinoma are a poor prognostic indicator of outcome in both the World Health Organization and FIGO classification systems. However, with the increased experience with chemotherapy and radiotherapy the prognosis of this group of patients has improved substantially. Neurosurgery remains an option for selected patients. We present two patients who underwent craniotomy as part of their management of choriocarcinoma, and review the role of neurosurgery in the treatment of gestational trophoblastic disease.
在世界卫生组织和国际妇产科联盟（FIGO）的分类系统中，绒毛膜癌脑转移均提示预后不良。然而，随着化疗和放疗经验的增加，这类患者的预后已显著改善。对于部分患者，神经外科手术仍是一种选择。我们介绍了两名接受开颅手术作为绒毛膜癌治疗一部分的患者，并回顾了神经外科手术在妊娠滋养细胞疾病治疗中的作用。
