Abstract

Exposure to radiation oncology (RO) is limited among medical students, excluding those who wish to pursue a radiation oncology career. Consequently, RO knowledge in gynecological malignancies may differ among obstetricians and gynecologists (OB&G), depending on their experience and training level. Establishing a program to educate OB&G residents about basic radiation oncology principles may improve patients' coordination and treatment with gynecological malignancies. At our institution, radiation oncology residents conducted a 2-part training session for OB&G colleagues, which included a lecture and hands-on training. Educational sessions targeting OB&G residents are needed to enhance knowledge about radiation treatments and improve patient care.

Abstract

Intermediate trophoblasts, a subtype of trophoblastic tissue arising from the cytotrophoblast can give rise to four distinct lesions which include the exaggerated placental site (EPS), placental site nodule (PSN), placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT), and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT). Rare and usually benign, these tumors reveal malignant potential in 10–15% of cases. Two particularly malignant lesions include the placental site trophoblastic tumor and the epithelioid trophoblastic tumor that arise from the chorion laeve (Shih and Kurman, 2001, Soper et al., 2004). The average age at time of diagnosis is 30 years with a range of 19–62 years (Schulz-Bischof and Scheidel, 2007). Most commonly, these patients present with abnormal uterine bleeding and low serum levels of β-HCG, preceded by a normal pregnancy or a spontaneous abortion (Baergen et al., 2006, Kurman, 1991). Diagnosis can be difficult and delayed. By the time of patient presentation, frequently there is already evidence of metastatic disease. Pneumothorax is a rare form of initial presentation in the patient with metastatic lung disease (Biran et al., 1992).
