The authors reviewed the subsequent pregnancy experience in patients with malignant gestational trophoblastic disease who were managed at the Czechoslovak Trophoblastic Disease Center between January 1981 to December 1990. Thirty-five women who conceived following successful chemotherapy of gestational trophoblastic disease subsequently became pregnant a total of 53 times. Twenty-seven of these 53 pregnancies or 51% terminated in live-born infants. Major or minor congenital malformations were not detected. Those subsequent pregnancies concluded in 23 full-term deliveries (85%) and 4 premature births (15%). Primary cesarean section was performed for 5 (19%) women. Three or 6% ended in spontaneous abortion, one or 2% ended in mola hydatidosa partialis and mola hydatidosa completa. Sixteen pregnancies or 30% terminated in therapeutic abortion. Five women or 9% are now pregnant. Those patients who are treated successfully with chemotherapy should be reassured that they can anticipate a normal reproductive outcome in later conceptions.
