Management and prognostic factors of epithelioid trophoblastic tumors: Results from the International Society for the Study of Trophoblastic Diseases database.

CONCLUSIONS: Advanced-stage disease and an interval of ≥48 months since the antecedent pregnancy are poor prognostic factors of ETT. Surgery seems adequate for early-stage disease with a shorter interval. Advanced-stage disease requires a combination of treatment modalities. Because of its rarity, ETT should be treated in a centre with experience in GTN.
