[Typical forms of choriocarcinoma in clinical practice--diagnosis and therapeutic course in four patients].
The paper reports on four patients with choriocarcinoma. In two of them, the choriocarcinoma was found after abortion, in one of them following termination of pregnancy, and in the last patient a hydatidiform mole was present. In all patients increased beta-HCG was found. One patient had lung metastasis at the time of diagnosis. In another patient, choriocarcinoma was suspected owing to ultrasonographic vaginal examination. According to the Bagshawe Score, 3 patients were low-risk and were subjected to methotrexate. One patient was medium-risk and received PEB chemotherapy. All four patients are regarded as cured.
