Risk-factors of GTN cancer
Some other risk factors of GTN cancer include:
2. History of GTN : Women who have had GTN cancer in a previous pregnancy are at a higher risk of developing it further in future pregnancies.
3. Family history : Women who have a family history of GTN may be at an increased risk of developing the condition.
4. Blood type : Women with blood type A or AB may be at a slightly increased risk of developing GTN.
5. Smoking : Women who smoke may be at a higher risk of developing GTN.
6. Nutritional deficiency : Women who are deficient in certain vitamins and minerals like folic acid and vitamin D may be at a higher risk of developing GTN.
Treatments of GTN cancer
2. Chemotherapy : This is the primary treatment for most types of GTN. It uses drugs to kill cancerous cells. The kind of chemotherapy used will depend on the specific type and stage of GTN.
3. Hormone therapy : This involves the use of hormones to cease or slow down the growth of cancer cells. It is usually only used in certain types of GTN, such as placental site trophoblastic tumours.
4. Supportive care : This may include blood transfusions, pain management, and other treatments to manage symptoms and complications of GTN.
5. Surgery : In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the cancerous tissue. This is more likely to be done in cases where the cancer is limited to the uterus.
