Cerebral metastases from choriocarcinoma are a poor prognostic indicator of outcome in both the World Health Organization and FIGO classification systems. Although gestational trophoblastic neoplasia has become the most curable of gynecological malignancies, failure rate among "high-risk" patients is still high despite of the use of aggressive multidrug regimens.
A 27-year-old woman (G(4)P(2)Ab(1)) presented with hemiplegia due to brain metastases of choriocarcinoma 1 year after spontaneous abortion. She underwent craniotomy and was treated with nine courses of multiple agent etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin- etoposide, and cisplatinum (EMA-EP) regimen combined with whole brain irradiation. She delivered a term healthy child 2 years after termination of treatment.
Multiagent EMA-EP chemotherapy and whole brain irradiation with craniotomy in selected patients preserves fertility and may improve a patient overall prognosis.
在世界卫生组织和国际妇产科联盟的分类系统中,绒毛膜癌脑转移都是预后不良的指标。尽管妊娠滋养细胞肿瘤已成为最可治愈的妇科恶性肿瘤,但尽管采用了积极的多药方案,“高危”患者的失败率仍然很高。
一名27岁女性(孕4产2,流产1次)在自然流产1年后因绒毛膜癌脑转移出现偏瘫。她接受了开颅手术,并接受了9个疗程的多药依托泊苷、甲氨蝶呤、放线菌素-D、依托泊苷和顺铂(EMA-EP)方案联合全脑放疗。治疗结束2年后,她分娩了一个足月健康婴儿。
对于部分患者,多药EMA-EP化疗及开颅手术联合全脑放疗可保留生育能力,并可能改善患者的总体预后。
