What is Gestational Trophoblastic Disease Overview about?
Gestational trophoblastic disease is an abnormal proliferation of trophoblastic villi in the uterus that leads to a grape-like mass. It includes both benign (hydatidiform mole) and cancerous (invasive mole, choriocarcinoma) types. A hydatidiform mole occurs when the embryo fails to develop properly and trophoblastic cells overgrow, secreting hCG and preventing fetal growth. Treatment involves surgical removal of the mole followed by monitoring of hCG levels to check for malignant transformation.
