AB Gestational  trophoblastic  disease  (GTD)  refers  to  a  spectrum  of  interrelated  but  histologically  distinct  tumors  originating  from  the  placenta  (Table  10-1).  These  diseases  are  characterized  by  a  reliable  tumor  marker,  the  β-subunit  of  human  chorionic  gonadotropin  (β-hCG),  and  have  varying  tendencies  toward  local  invasion  and  metastasis.
