Clinical Trial: Second Curettage in Treating Patients With Persistent Non-metastatic Gestational Trophoblastic Tumors

Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: A Phase II Study to Determine the Response to Second Curettage as Initial Management for Persistent Low Risk, Non-metastatic Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia

Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies how well a second curettage (removal of the abnormal cancer cells in the uterus using a method of surgically removing the lining of the uterus) works in treating patients with gestational trophoblastic tumors that did not go away after a first curettage (persistent) and has not yet spread to other places in the body (non-metastatic). A second curettage may be effective in treating persistent gestational trophoblastic tumors and may decrease the likelihood that patients will need chemotherapy in the near future.
