[Close classification method of undetermined cases of trophoblastic disease (author's transl)]

With the improvement of recovery ratio of trophoblastic disease by means of primary chemotherapy, undetermined cases of trophoblastic diseases, whose morphological examination has not been conducted, have increased. The respective sickly constitutions of these cases are extremely complicated, and we have deviced a new close classification of these cases from clinical standpoint. For the purpose, we have chosen out the following items.: A. Major subdivision 1. Types of antecident pregnancy. 2. Duration between the antecident pregnancy and the commencement of chemotherapy. 3. Urinary hCG secretion pattern following molar pregnancy. 4. Following treatment of hydatidiform mole. B. Minor subdivision 1. Urinary hCG titer at the commencement of chemotherapy. 2. BBT pattern. 3. Chest x-ray findings. 4. PAG. 5. Clinical signs. 6. Development of focuses (clinical). 7. Necessary reasons for chemotherapy. These items are expressed respectively by figures. This close classification method is based on the combinations of these figures. The authors believe, this method will enable the easy classification of early chemotherapy examples and will present a strong key for the analysis of enormous cases.
