The patients were studied in two divided group based on the FIGO scoring system. Results: 70 GTN patients were identified over these 5 years. 59 patients were in the low-risk group and 11 patients were in the high-risk group. 100% of the patients in the low-risk group and 90.1% of the patients in the high-risk group responded to the first and second line treatment. In the follow-up one case of recurrence within the low risk patient and one case of mortality from the high-risk patients was reported. In the high-risk metastatic group, there was 1 case of unusual metastasis site at the kidney and the commonest site of distant metastasis was lung. Conclusion: Response rate in the low-risk GTN patients was excellent (100%) and it was more than 90% in the high-risk GTN patients. Therefore, if GTN patients are treated in reference centers, the response rate will be favorable. Patients with brain metastases have good chances of recovery if treated timely.
