Gestational trophoblastic disease and the WA Trophoblastic Centre

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is an uncommon group of conditions associated with pregnancy and defined by abnormal trophoblastic proliferation. Arising from an abnormal placenta, it occurs in about 1:1000 pregnancies in Australia but wide variations exist in the reported incidence due to ethnic variations, issues with data capture and a lack of registries.
