A Prospective,Multicenter,Randomized Trial of Biweekly Single-dose Actinomycin-D Versus Multi-day Methotrexate Protocol for the Treatment of Low-risk Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia
A Prospective,Multicenter,Randomized Trial of Biweekly Single-dose Actinomycin-D Versus Multi-day Methotrexate Protocol for the Treatment of Low-risk Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia
The investigators conducted a randomized trial to study how well multi-day methotrexate protocol works compared to biweekly single-dose actinomycin D protocol in treating patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. It is not yet known whether multi-day methotrexate protocol is as effective as biweekly single-dose actinomycin D protocol in treating patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
