This is how we ended our OB-GYN rotation: a public health lecture about nutrition among cancer patients. These are patients diagnosed to have either H-mole or gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). H-mole is not necessarily a neoplastic disease but it predisposes a patient to acquire GTN. In addition, all of them undergo methotrexate therapy, the difference is the etoposide and actinomycin-D therapy included for GTN patients.
We have Dr. Melissa de Quiros in this photo (the one beside me), the one and only Trophoblastic Diseases Fellow at the Philippine General Hospital.
