Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia: Comparing Treatment Regimens in the Desert of Cancer Therapy

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. This research compares the efficacy and toxicity of two chemotherapy regimens, FAEV and EMA/CO, as primary treatment for high-risk GTN. The authors conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of each regimen. Their findings suggest that both regimens demonstrate similar efficacy in treating GTN, but FAEV may have a slightly higher risk of side effects.
