Introduction
In general, patients diagnosed with choriocarcinoma can achieve favorable treatment outcomes and reach clinical cure with prompt and active treatment. It is recommended that patients receive treatment under a doctor's guidance using medications such as fluorouracil injection, methotrexate injection, and cyclophosphamide injection, or undergo total hysterectomy via laparoscopy.
Choriocarcinoma can be essentially cured and generally does not significantly affect the patient's normal life.
Choriocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumor that usually develops after a molar pregnancy, miscarriage, or full-term delivery. A small number of cases occur following an ectopic pregnancy, primarily affecting women of childbearing age. Typical symptoms include irregular vaginal bleeding after a molar pregnancy, childbirth, or abortion, or failure of the uterus to return to its normal size—often remaining larger and softer than usual—which may indicate choriocarcinoma. In general, with early diagnosis and active treatment, patients can achieve favorable therapeutic outcomes and even clinical cure. It is recommended that patients receive treatment under medical supervision using medications such as fluorouracil injection, methotrexate injection, and cyclophosphamide injection, or undergo total hysterectomy via laparoscopy.
Patients should moderately increase their intake of high-protein foods, such as eggs, lean meat, animal liver, tofu, and soy milk. They should also maintain regular作息 (daily routines) and ensure adequate sleep, ideally around 7 hours per day.
