title: [Clinical usefulness of color doppler flow examination during treatment of gestational trophoblastic disease].
abstract: Neovascularisation is the integral part of tumor development. Presence and type of pathological vascularisation can be used in therapy monitoring and follow up. The value of beta HCG and pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) in 14 women treated for nonmetastatic persistent trophoblastic disease (NMTD) were been compared. There was statistical, significant correlation between dropped BHCG level and increased value of RI. No correlation between BHCG blood concentration and values of PI was observed. In summary it should be stated that color Doppler ultrasonography is useful method in monitoring patients with NMTD.
