In recent years, the rate of women suffering from molar pregnancy disease has been gradually increasing. Fortunately, most cases of molar pregnancy are benign and can be restored to health through treatment. Only a small number may develop into malignant molar pregnancy. As people are now very concerned about whether malignant diseases can be cured after getting sick, can malignant molar pregnancy be cured?
Can malignant molar pregnancy be cured
Malignant molar pregnancy is a deterioration of molar pregnancy, which can be cured. Malignant molar pregnancy, after treatment, generally has a good prognosis, but there is still a possibility of recurrence and development into choriocarcinoma in the future. Therefore, contraception and follow-up for at least 2 years should be advised.
The treatment method for malignant molar pregnancy: Currently, chemotherapy is mainly used, and the specific method is the same as choriocarcinoma therapy. Secondly, for those approaching menopause and without fertility requirements, total hysterectomy is feasible.
Examination after treatment of malignant molar pregnancy
1. Regular hCG testing, once a week after curettage of molar pregnancy, until three consecutive negative results, and then once a month for at least six months. Afterwards, it can be followed up every six months for a total of 2 years. Pregnancy testing is very important in follow-up. After complete removal of molar pregnancy, more than 60% of patients have a negative pregnancy test result within 30 days. Those who remain positive for more than 40 days should be highly suspected of malignant transformation or residual vesicular fetal mass.
2. Inquire about medical history, including menstrual status, symptoms such as cough and hemoptysis, and undergo gynecological examination. If necessary, perform B-ultrasound, chest X-ray or CT examination. If the pregnancy test has turned negative and returned positive during the follow-up visit, and it is not pregnancy, malignant transformation should be highly suspected. If the original urine is positive, the dilution test has turned negative, and the dilution test has turned positive again during the follow-up visit, especially for those with increased dilution, malignant transformation should also be highly suspected.
After the above introduction in this article, everyone should know that malignant molar pregnancy can be cured, so female friends do not need to worry too much. However, it is still important to note that if malignant molar pregnancy is not treated in time or thoroughly, it may transform into cancer, and the cure rate and survival rate will decrease at that time. Therefore, daily physical examination is crucial, and efforts should be made to detect and receive targeted treatment in the early stages of the disease.
