Causes of unopposed oestrogen

A

Obesity
PCOS
HRT

32
Q

Prognosis for type 2 endometrial Ca

Molar tissue with no normal villi
Diploid (empty egg)
Malignant potential

37
Q

Features of invasive mole

A

Molar tissue extends into parametrium

May metastasize

38
Q

What is choriocarcinoma

A

39
Q

Prognosis for choriocarcinoma

A

Good with chemo
