Using data primarily from Charing Cross Hospital in London, we examined the organization and funding of patients' care and follow-up, the value of second evacuations, the indications for treatment escalation and the results of treating patients with persistent low levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) following a molar pregnancy. In the U.K. system the total cost per patient treated is approximately $30,000. Second evacuations appear to have only a modest chance (18%) of benefit in patients with hCG levels over 5,000 IU/L. Outcome analysis of patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic tumor (GTT) treated with methotrexate/folinic acid indicates that hCG levels in excess of500 IU/L at 7 weeks after starting are an accurate predictor of impending methotrexate resistance. For patients with hCG values under 100 IU/L at the time of treatment, a review of the 30 most recent low-risk GTT patients demonstrates a 100% cure rate with standard treatment. Low-risk GTT following a molar pregnancy is a highly curable malignancy, and cure rates approaching 100% should be expected. National or regional organization of follow-up and treatment is simple, economic and associated with enhanced outcomes when appropriate treatment policies are followed.

Collier K, Schink C, Young AM, et al., 2008, Successful treatment with etoposide phosphate in patients with previous etoposide hypersensitivity., J Oncol Pharm Pract, Vol: 14, Pages: 51-55, ISSN: 1078-1552
OBJECTIVE: To review the experience of treatment with etoposide phosphate in patients with acute etoposide hypersensitivity treated in a large tertiary referral center hospital specializing in curable malignancies. CASE SUMMARIES: The cases of 6 patients with advanced malignancies who experienced acute etoposide hypersensitivity are documented. There were 3 male and 3 female patients and their ages ranged from 16 to 68. Four patients had curable malignancies with trophoblast tumors or germ cell tumors and two were receiving palliative chemotherapy for other malignancies. All of the 6 patients who experienced etoposide hypersensitivity developed their symptoms in the first few minutes of the initial infusion. The most common symptoms were chest pain, facial flushing, and bronchospasm. All of the patients had emergency treatment with discontinuation of the infusion and usually the administration of hydrocortisone and chlorpheniramine, which lead to the rapid resolution of their symptoms. For the next cycle of chemotherapy each patient was rechallenged with etoposide phosphate, with steroid cover given in only two of the cases. None of the 6 patients experienced any hypersensitivity symptoms on treatment with etoposide phosphate and in one the steroids were withdrawn for all the subsequent cycles. The 4 patients with curable malignancies all remain disease free, while the 2 palliative patients obtained significant control of their disease. DISCUSSION: Etoposide is one of the most important chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of many curable malignancies but an acute hypersensitivity reaction occurs in around 1% of patients. Retreatment with etoposide in these patients is difficult and generally alternative drugs/regimens have to be used. A small number of case reports have suggested that etoposide phosphate can be safely used in these patients and 6 cases have been found in the pharmacy records where this has been done. In all of the patients, treatment with etoposide
