Summaries for Placental Site Trophoblastic Tumor

About this section
Disease Ontology : 12 A choriocarcinoma that is characterized by low beta-hCG levels and arises from neoplastic transformation of intermediate trophoblastic cells.

MalaCards based summary : Placental Site Trophoblastic Tumor, also known as trophoblastic tumor, placental site, is related to hydatidiform mole, recurrent, 1 and gestational trophoblastic neoplasm. An important gene associated with Placental Site Trophoblastic Tumor is INHA (Inhibin Subunit Alpha), and among its related pathways/superpathways are PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and Relaxin signaling pathway. The drugs Nitroglycerin and Bevacizumab have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include placenta, uterus and testis, and related phenotypes are spontaneous abortion and amenorrhea
