Successful treatment of a chemo-resistant gestational trophoblastic neoplasia using GEMOX. Clinical case

Abstract

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia is a rare malignancy. The main treatment approach is chemotherapy. Almost all patients can be cured if the diagnosis is established timely and adequate treatment is provided in specialized centers.
 In a small part of patients, the tumor progresses despite the use of all standard chemotherapy regimens. Treatment of such patients is difficult for all oncologists, including ones working in specialized centers for the treatment of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
 This article presents a clinical case of the successful treatment of a patient with multidrug resistant gestational trophoblastic neoplasia using GEMOX regimen.
