Surgery and Platinum/Etoposide-Based Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Epithelioid Trophoblastic Tumor
Conclusions
Surgery, including hysterectomy and resection of metastatic disease, is an important component in the treatment of women with ETT. Adjuvant chemotherapy with a platinum/etoposide-containing regimen should be used in women with metastatic disease. All 5 women with ETT in this series were cured using this approach, including the 4 who had metastatic disease.
