  1. A patient with non-metastatic gestational trophoblastic disease can be treated with weekly intramuscular injections of which of the following agents ?
    Cyclophosphamide
    Carboplatinum
    VP-16 (etoposide)
    Actinomycin D
    Methotrexate
  2. Five-year survival rates of patients with low-risk, non-metastatic gestational trophoblastic disease approaches ?
    100%
    75%
    50%
    25%
    5 to 10%
  3. Comparing complete hydatidiform moles gestations, complete and partial moles are more likely to demonstrate all of these characteristics except ?
    more likely to require chemotherapy after evacuation for gestational trophablastic disease
    more likely to present with a uterus large for dates
    more likely to present with theca lutein cysts
    more likely to 'have focal rather than diffuse trophoblastic proliferation
    more likely to diffuse hydopic swelling of villi
  4. A woman experiencing a molar pregnancy has an increased risk of which of the following in subsequent gestations ?
    Stillbirth
    Prematurity
    Congenital malformations
    Recurrent molar gestation
    Cancer later in life



  1. The most likely karyotype of patient with a complete mole would be ?
    46, XX
    46, XY
    Diandric triploidy
    Triploidy with two haploid sets of maternal origin
    Aneuploidy
  2. The most likely karyotype of patient with a partial mole would be ?
    46, XX
    46, XY
    Diandric triploidy
    Triploidy with two haploid sets of maternal origin
    Aneuploidy
  3. A woman with a complete mole is most likely to present with which of the symptoms ?
    Vaginal Bleeding
    Excessive uterine size
    Hypermesis
    Prominent theca lutein cysts
    Pre-eclampsia
  4. A patient with a complete mole is found to have sizeable ovarian cysts that are presumed to be theca lutein cysts. All of the following are true about theca lutein cysts EXCEPT ?
    Such cysts arise more frequently in patients with complete moles
    Theca lutein cysts are more likely seen in patients with very high hCG levels
    Cysts are filled with serious or serosanguinous fluid and are usually bilateral
    Often require active management with surgical intervention
    Patients with large theca lutein cysts may be at increased risk for postmolar persistence of disease
