Gestational Trophoblastic Disease, Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia, Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasms, Gestational Trophoblastic Tumor
Conditions
Brief summary
The investigators conducted a trial to determine whether methotrexate or methotrexate/dactinomycin single-course treatment work well as multiple courses of single methotrexate chemotherapy in low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. It is not yet known whether single-course of chemotherapy is as the same effectiveness as multicourse.
Interventions
MTX 0.4mg/(kg·d) intramuscularly (IM) on days 1-5
MTX 100mg/m(2), IV, on day1 (after Act-d); MTX 200mg/m(2), IVgtt, on day1 (after MTX, 500ml NS, \>4h)
Act-d 0.6mg/m(2), IV, on day1,2
