title: [Trophoblastic diseases: a multidisciplinary approach, a first Swiss center].
abstract: Trophoblastic diseases are rare and complex. The Center for trophoblastic diseases, the first in Switzerland, was founded in Geneva in January 2009 to formalize the collaboration between obstetricians-gynecologists, pathologists, geneticists, radiologists and oncologists. At the physician's request and with patient consent, an integrative diagnosis is proposed after centralized review of the histological slides, anti-p57KIP2 immunohistochemistry, and ploidy analysis by QF-PCR (Quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction). The referring physician receives treatment and beta-hCG dosage recommendations. This pluridisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approach allows optimal surveillance and treatment of patients.
