Placental-Site Gestational Trophoblastic Tumors
Current Clinical Trials
Hysterectomy is the treatment of choice for patients with placental-site
trophoblastic tumors. Although most reports have noted a benign course for
these tumors, they are relatively resistant to chemotherapy and can be
fatal.[1]
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with placental-site gestational trophoblastic tumor. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
