Download or read book Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia written by Tara Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2012-09-23 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I was diagnosed with choriocarcinoma on February 7, 2002, when my daughter was almost nine months old. I was devastated to hear the words you have cancer of the placenta. I sat there with this stupid grin on my face, holding back the tears." And so began Tara Johnson's frightening journey into the world of a rare gynecological cancer. Choriocarcinoma is so rare-some 1 in 40,000 pregnancies-many oncologists have never treated it, much less come across information about it that's suitable for patients. After being dismissed for nearly four months with postpartum bleeding, Tara was finally properly diagnosed and her treatment began. The story she tells in this book is touching and personal. It includes intimate details about her battle with cancer-and with a medical system that ignored her symptoms while that cancer spread. The book is also a hands-on guide for patients dealing with the challenges and the life-threatening complications of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, or GTN. GTN is an umbrella term used to describe a group of disorders of the placenta. Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia: A Guide for Women Dealing with Tumors of the Placenta, such as Choriocarcinoma, Molar Pregnancy and Other Forms of GTN explains the medical questions and issues of GTN-its tests, treatment and risk factors-as well as the complex social and emotional aspects of a cancer diagnosis. It also contains a resource list designed to connect patients to support groups near their homes and online. Tara and Meredith are a unique team. While Tara became a choriocarcinoma expert through her own experience, diagnosis and treatment, Meredith's expertise in bioethics and medical research combines their skills, deftly weaving personal narrative with "harder" facts. The result is an incredibly compelling and informative read.

Book excerpt: A logical approach to formulating a pathologic diagnosis from the diverse array of tissue received in the surgical pathology laboratory. The authors are both prominent gynaecologic pathologists, and this book is the result of their long-running Short Course presented at the International Academy of Pathology.

Abstract: Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) includes a spectrum of diseases that involve abnormal growth of trophoblastic cells inside the uterus. It can range from benign hydatidiform moles (HM) to frankly malignant choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) or epithelioid trophoblastic tumour (ETT).GTD are considered curable if the patient is correctly diagnosed and receive appropriate treatment during the early stage of the disease. About 15% -30% of hydatidiform moles will develop persistent GTD, but majority of them can usually resolved by surgical intervention and post-operation weekly serial serum β-hCG level monitoring. In contrast, choriocarcinoma is a frankly malignant gestational trophoblastic neoplasm (GTN). Most choriocarcinoma arise from HM but can develop from any pregnancy related events such as ectopic pregnancy, live-birth or stillbirth. Being the most aggressive neoplasm in GTD, choriocarcinoma can develop widespread metastasis and can be fatal. FBI-1 (Pokemon) is a transcription factor that is often overexpressed in various types of human cancer. We have reported overexpression of FBI-1 in ovarian cancer in association with cell proliferation and invasiveness. Our recent study also suggested that overexpression of FBI-1 in HM was related to subsequent development of gestational trophoblastic neoplasms(GTN). In this study, we evaluated the role of FBI-1 inchoriocarcinoma cell proliferation. By MTT assay, the proliferation rates of two choriocarcinoma cell lines (JAR and JEG-3) was found to decrease when FBI-1 was downregulated by shRNA approach with statistical significance reached in JEG-3 (p In conclusion, FBI-1 may play a role in choriocarcinoma cell proliferation and FBI-1 may be explored as a potential therapeutic target for GTD in the future.
