THE SUCCESS RATE OF MTX/FA FOR TREATMENT OF GESTATIONAL TROPHOBLASTIC NEOPLASIA WITH RISK SCORE ≤6 AT TU DU HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to determine the success rate of the MTX/FA regimen in the treatment of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia with a risk score ≤ 6 and related factors at Tu Du Hospital. Method: A retrospective cross-sectional study involving 283 patients treated at Tu Du Hospital from February 2019 to December 2022. Results: Results: The MTX/FA regimen has a success rate in the treatment of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia with a risk score of 0-6 of 72.80%. Factors related to the success rate of the regimen: patients with βhCG levels ≥10,000 mIU/ml had a 57.51-fold higher risk of failure with the MTX/FA regimen than patients with βhCG levels <1,000 mIU/ml (p < 0.001). Patients with the largest tumor size ≥3 cm had a 3.17-fold higher risk of resistance to MTX/FA chemotherapy than those with tumor size <3 cm (p = 0.016). Conclusion: the MTX/FA regimen is still the optimal choice in treating gestational trophoblastic neoplasia with a FIGO risk score of 0-6 points.
