Can a person die from Choricarcinoma?
Pure choriocarcinoma of the testis represents the most aggressive pathologic variant of germ cell tumors in adults, characteristically with early hematogenous and lymphatic metastatic spread. Because of early spread and inherent resistance to anticancer drugs the prognosis is poor. Mixed choriocarcinoma is treatable. Ask you doctor questions like this.
What is cancer of the womb?
The term "womb" generally refers to the uterus during pregnancy. So cancers of the womb would include all cancers that affect the uterus. There are several types, all of which have specific names (eg, leiomyosarcoma).Another type of cancer that might be associated with the term "womb" is a choriocarcinoma. Choriocarcinoma is a cancer of the placenta. It is relatively common in so-called "molar" pregnancies, specifically complete hydatidiform moles.
What is the prognosis for embryonal and choriocarcinoma cells found in testicular cancer?
The prognosis for embryonal carcinoma and choriocarcinoma cells in testicular cancer is generally favorable, especially when detected early. These tumors are considered aggressive but are highly responsive to chemotherapy, which significantly improves survival rates. With appropriate treatment, the overall cure rate for testicular cancer, including those with these cell types, exceeds 90%. Regular follow-up and monitoring are essential to manage any potential recurrence.
What are the symptoms of choriocarcinomas?
The symptoms of a choriocarcinoma vary, depending on where the tumor originates and where it spreads. In the uterus, the most common symptom is bleeding. Cancers in the ovary often have only subtle signs such as widening of the waistline or pain.

What is h mole pregnancy?
Molar pregnancy is an abnormal form of pregnancy, characterized by the presence of a hydatidiform mole (or hydatid mole, mola hytadidosa), an anomalous growth containing a nonviable embryo which implants and proliferates within the uterus.[1] A hydatidiform mole is removed upon diagnosis because there is some risk that it may develop into choriocarcinoma, a form of cancer.
