[Article in French]

Abstract

Based on a review of the international literature the authors insist on the need of prognosis categorization of Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasms (GTN) using the WHO scoring system. High risk GTN should be treated by sequential multi-drug chemotherapy like described by Bagshawe. The authors discuss surgical indications in GTN.
