Prognosis of Hydatidiform Mole

Is hydatidiform mole curable?

Because of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, the current mortality rate from hydatidiform mole is essentially zero. Approximately 20% of women with a complete mole develop a trophoblastic malignancy. Gestational trophoblastic malignancies (ie, gestational trophoblastic neoplasia) are almost 100% curable.

How can I remove hydatidiform mole?

Ultrasonography, blood tests to measure human chorionic gonadotropin (which is produced early during pregnancy), and a biopsy are done. Moles are removed using dilation and curettage (D and C) with suction. If the disorder persists, chemotherapy is needed.
