Relapse rate of patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic tumor initially treated with single-agent chemotherapy

All patients with low-risk GTT eventually attained complete remission, even though some developed drug resistance to the first-line chemotherapy. The relapse rate was significantly higher in patients with drug resistance than those with primary remission. Chemotherapy regimen that induces little drug resistance is desirable from the viewpoint of long-term prognosis.
