Objective:
To assess the practice habits and recommendations of members of American Society of Gynecologic Oncologists (ASGO) dealing with follow-up management of molar pregnancy.
Materials And Methods:
A questionnaire was mailed to ASGO members requesting their recommended waiting period for subsequent pregnancy following treatment of molar pregnancy. Year of Fellowship completion was determined for each respondent.
Results:
Only 36.8% still recommended the traditionally accepted 12-month waiting period, and 31.3% recommended 6 months. The trend was toward shorter waiting periods among younger, more recently trained oncologists, although differences were not statistically significant.
Conclusion:
It appears time to review the recommendation of a 12-month waiting period. A reduction of at least down to 6 months may be appropriate, but needs further investigation.
