  • GESTATIONAL TROPHOBLASTIC NEOPLASIA (GTN) is a condition in which cancer cells grow in the tissues formed following conception. Hydatidiform mole, invasive mole, placental-site trophoblastic tumor, and choriocarcinoma are types of GTN. Approximately 3000 women in the United States are diagnosed with a hydatidiform mole each year. [Source: Encyclopedia of Cancer and Society; Trophoblastic Tumor, Gestational]
