What is another word for trophoblastic cancer?
Pronunciation: [tɹˌɒfəblˈastɪk kˈansə] (IPA) 
Trophoblastic cancer, or gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD), is a rare form of cancer that develops in the cells that form the placenta during pregnancy. There are various synonyms for this condition, including choriocarcinoma, which is a more aggressive subtype of trophoblastic cancer, and molar pregnancy, which is a non-cancerous growth of the placental tissue that can sometimes develop into trophoblastic cancer. Other synonyms for trophoblastic cancer include hydatidiform mole, invasive mole, and placental site trophoblastic tumor. While trophoblastic cancer is rare, it is important to seek medical attention if you experience symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, or an unusually large uterus during or after pregnancy.
