Choriocarcinoma is a rare type of cancer that usually starts in the womb (uterus) after a molar pregnancy or miscarriage. It can also occur in other parts of the body.
Doctors may use imaging tests like ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI scans, along with blood tests and a tissue biopsy, to diagnose choriocarcinoma.
Treatment often includes surgery to remove the tumor, followed by chemotherapy and sometimes radiation therapy.
With early detection and treatment, many patients with choriocarcinoma can recover and lead healthy lives. Regular follow-up care is important to monitor for any signs of recurrence.
