Trophoblastic disease: 20 years' experience.
A series of 155 women with gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) was evaluated to determine the effect of age on the severity of the disease. The malignant sequelae of hydatidiform moles were of similar frequency at all ages. However, young women, less than 20 years old, had significantly less malignant GTD and significantly less metastatic malignant GTD than did older women.
