Przewlekła choroba trofoblastyczna i choriokarcynoma
Rokowania, prognozy i postęp choroby

Przewlekła choroba trofoblastyczna (GTN) oraz choriokarcinoma cechują się bardzo dobrym rokowaniem, z niemal 100% wskaźnikiem wyleczeń przy odpowiednim leczeniu, co czyni je jednymi z najlepiej rokujących nowotworów złośliwych. Kluczowym narzędziem w ocenie rokowania i planowaniu terapii jest system prognostyczny FIGO 2000, z aktualizacją z 2015 roku wprowadzającą kategorię ultra wysokiego ryzyka (wynik FIGO ≥12), co poprawiło precyzję klasyfikacji pacjentek z rozległymi przerzutami. Pacjentki dzielone są na trzy grupy ryzyka: niskie (wynik ≤6) z 100% przeżywalnością, wysokie (wynik ≥7) z przeżywalnością powyżej 90% w ośrodkach specjalistycznych oraz ultra wysokie ryzyko, gdzie wskaźnik wyleczeń wynosi około 75%. Retrospektywna analiza wykazała 5-letnią śmiertelność 38,4% u pacjentek z wynikiem ≥13, podkreślając znaczenie dokładnej stratyfikacji ryzyka.

Prognostyka przewlekłej choroby trofoblastycznej i choriokarcynomy

Przewlekła choroba trofoblastyczna i choriokarcynoma (nowotworowa choroba trofoblastyczna, GTN) charakteryzują się generalnie bardzo dobrym rokowaniem. Niemal wszystkie pacjentki zostają wyleczone dzięki odpowiedniemu leczeniu, co czyni te schorzenia jednymi z nielicznych nowotworów złośliwych o tak wysokim wskaźniku wyleczeń12. Pomimo złośliwego charakteru, zwłaszcza choriokarcynoma, które jest wysoce inwazyjnym nowotworem i potencjalnie zagrażającym życiu schorzeniem, wykazuje wyjątkową wrażliwość na chemioterapię3.

Systemy oceny prognostycznej

Głównym narzędziem używanym do prognostyki i planowania leczenia jest System Prognostyczny FIGO 2000, który stanowi globalny standard oceny rokowania u pacjentek z GTN, szczególnie z inwazyjnym zaśniadem groniastym i choriokarcynomą4. Podobnie używany jest system prognostyczny Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia (WHO), który pomaga zespołowi medycznemu w określeniu planu leczenia i rokowania dla nowotworowej postaci GTD5.

W 2015 roku wprowadzono ważną aktualizację systemu FIGO 2000, dodając kategorię ultra wysokiego ryzyka, co zwiększyło dokładność prognostyczną systemu poprzez lepsze dopasowanie wyników punktacji do rzeczywistych wyników leczenia6. Ta zmiana była istotna dla precyzyjnej klasyfikacji pacjentek z wynikami FIGO ≥12 lub z rozległymi przerzutami7.

Kategorie ryzyka i ich rokowanie

W oparciu o systemy prognostyczne, pacjentki z GTN dzielone są na trzy główne kategorie ryzyka, które determinują zarówno strategię leczenia, jak i rokowanie8:

  • Niskie ryzyko (wynik prognostyczny ≤6) – charakteryzuje się doskonałym rokowaniem, z odsetkiem wyleczeń sięgającym 100%. Nowotwór w tej grupie zwykle dobrze reaguje na leczenie, a wysoka przeżywalność utrzymuje się nawet w przypadkach z przerzutami91011.
  • Wysokie ryzyko (wynik prognostyczny ≥7) – może wymagać bardziej intensywnego lub odmiennego schematu leczenia niż przypadki niskiego ryzyka. Niemniej jednak, przy odpowiednim leczeniu, wszystkie pacjentki (100%) z chorobą wysokiego ryzyka są z powodzeniem leczone1213. W specjalistycznych ośrodkach, współczynnik przeżywalności przekracza 90%14.
  • Ultra wysokie ryzyko – najcięższa postać choroby, charakteryzująca się najwyższymi wynikami w skali FIGO lub rozległymi przerzutami. Około 75% pacjentek z chorobą ultra wysokiego ryzyka zostaje pomyślnie wyleczonych15.

Czynniki wpływające na rokowanie

Retrospektywna analiza z 2016 roku przeprowadzona przez Bolze i współpracowników wykazała znaczącą pięcioletnią śmiertelność na poziomie 38,4% u 29 pacjentek z wynikami ≥13, w porównaniu do śmiertelności 4,9% u pacjentek wysokiego ryzyka z wynikami 7-1216. Obserwacja ta podkreśla znaczenie właściwej stratyfikacji ryzyka, zwłaszcza w najcięższych przypadkach.

Badania wykazały również, że rokowanie w dużej mierze zależy od statusu choroby w momencie diagnozy17. W przypadku choroby niemetastatycznej, wskaźnik wyleczeń zbliża się do 100% przy zastosowaniu chemioterapii18. Podobnie, metastatyczna choroba niskiego ryzyka ma wskaźnik wyleczeń zbliżony do 100%19.

Rokowanie w przypadku nawrotów i oporności na chemioterapię

Ogólny wskaźnik 5-letniego przeżycia u pacjentek z nawrotową GTN wynosi 93% (95% CI 86-100%)20. Przeżywalność jest różna w zależności od początkowej kategorii ryzyka:

  • Dla pacjentek z chorobą niskiego ryzyka przy pierwszej diagnozie, które później doświadczyły nawrotu, wskaźnik przeżycia wynosi 100% (n=35)21.
  • Dla pacjentek z chorobą wysokiego ryzyka przy prezentacji, które następnie doświadczyły nawrotu, wskaźnik przeżycia wynosi 84% (95% CI: 66-96%, P≤0.05) (n=25)22.

Prawdopodobieństwo późnego nawrotu po tym, jak pacjentka osiągnęła remisję (normalne miano beta-hCG w surowicy) przez okres 1 roku, wynosi mniej niż 1%23.

Warto zauważyć, że rokowanie dla pacjentek z chorobą oporną na chemioterapię (chemo-refractory) jest mniej korzystne niż dla pacjentek z nawrotami po początkowej odpowiedzi na leczenie24. Dla tej grupy pacjentek potrzebne są nowe, innowacyjne metody terapeutyczne25.

Przypadki szczególne i wyjątkowe

W literaturze opisano przypadki pacjentek z bardziej zaawansowaną i rzadką postacią choroby. Na przykład, pacjentka z nabłonkowym guzem trofoblastycznym (epithelioid trophoblastic tumor) z miejscowo zaawansowaną chorobą, zajęciem szyjki macicy i pochwy, licznymi przerzutami do płuc oraz wysokim poziomem hCG w surowicy (514,967 mUI/ml) stanowiła wyzwanie terapeutyczne. Pomimo agresywnego charakteru choroby, po leczeniu osiągnięto obniżenie poziomu hCG do <5 U/ml, a badania obrazowe (PET/CT, CT i MRI mózgu) wykazały ustąpienie zmian przerzutowych26.

Ograniczenia obecnych systemów prognostycznych

Pomimo powszechnego wykorzystania systemu FIGO 2000, badania wykazały pewne ograniczenia w jego zdolności do dokładnej oceny ryzyka nawrotu27. Wprowadzenie kategorii ultra wysokiego ryzyka, choć stanowi istotny postęp, stawia przed systemem FIGO znaczące wyzwanie w zakresie precyzyjnego przewidywania odpowiedzi na leczenie, wskaźników nawrotów czy śmiertelności w ramach kompleksowych ram punktacji28.

Istnieją kluczowe czynniki ryzyka, które nadal nie są uwzględnione w obecnych systemach oceny prognostycznej, co podkreśla obszar możliwych ulepszeń w przyszłości29.

Wnioski końcowe

Przewlekła choroba trofoblastyczna i choriokarcynoma charakteryzują się generalnie bardzo dobrym rokowaniem, z niemal wszystkimi pacjentkami całkowicie wyleczonymi dzięki odpowiedniemu leczeniu3031. Tylko nieliczne kobiety z GTD mają złe rokowanie, np. niektóre formy GTN w IV stadium32.

Bardzo istotne jest wczesne wykrycie złośliwych form GTD33. W ostatnich latach obserwuje się poprawę we wczesnym wykrywaniu choriokarcynomy, co znacząco obniżyło wskaźnik śmiertelności również w krajach rozwijających się34.

Pomimo ogólnie doskonałego rokowania, nadal istnieje potrzeba doskonalenia systemów prognostycznych oraz opracowywania nowych strategii terapeutycznych dla pacjentek z chorobą oporną na standardowe leczenie3536.

Pacjentki, które przeszły leczenie z powodu GTN i zachowały płodność, mogą spodziewać się wyników położniczych zbliżonych do populacji ogólnej w przypadku późniejszych ciąż3738. Jest to dodatkowy, niezwykle istotny aspekt dobrego rokowania w tej grupie chorych.

    Choriocarcinoma, for example, is an uncommon, yet almost always curable cancer. Although choriocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumour and a life-threatening disease, it is very sensitive to chemotherapy. Virtually all women with non-metastatic disease are cured and retain their fertility; the prognosis is also very good for those with metastatic (spreading) cancer, in the early stages, but fertility may be lost. […] Women with a hydatidiform mole have an excellent prognosis. Women with a malignant form of GTD usually have a very good prognosis. […] The risk can be estimated by scoring systems such as the Modified WHO Prognostic Scoring System, wherein scores between 1 and 4 from various parameters are summed together. […] It is very important for malignant forms of GTD to be discovered in time. […] There have been improvements in these countries in the early detection of choriocarcinoma, thereby significantly reducing the mortality rate also in developing countries. […] Only a few women with GTD have a poor prognosis, e.g. some forms of stage IV GTN.

    Aim: To assess prognosis of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) and obstetric outcome after chemotherapy. […] The prognosis of women with GTN is very good, and obstetric outcomes of those who conceive after chemotherapy are similar to those of the general population. […] The present investigation assessed the clinical outcome of the 20 patients with GTN. […] The patient with epithelioid trophoblastic tumor had locally advanced disease, with cervical and vaginal involvement, multiple lung metastases at presentation, and a serum hCG level of 514,967 mUI/ml. […] Currently, serum hCG is persistently less than 5 U/ml, PET/CT scan is negative, and brain CT and MRI show the disappearance of the metastatic lesion, with residual area of radionecrosis surrounded by scar tissue. […] In conclusion, the prognosis of patients with GTN is very good, with all the cases recovered by chemotherapy except for one harboring advanced epithelioid trophoblastic tumor, and the obstetric outcomes of those who conceive after chemotherapy are similar to those of the general population.

    A pivotal 2016 retrospective analysis by Bolze et al. reported a notable five-year mortality rate of 38.4% in 29 patients with scores 13 compared with a 4.9% mortality rate in high-risk patients with scores of 712. […] While the ultra-high-risk category attempts to refine prognostic accuracy by closely monitoring disease progression and forecasting outcomes, it also presents the FIGO system with the considerable challenge of precisely predicting treatment responses, recurrence rates, or mortality within a comprehensive scoring framework. […] Recent studies have revealed notable deficiencies in FIGO 2000’s ability to accurately evaluate recurrence risk. […] Despite the critical nature of these risk factors, they still do not feature in the current prognostic scoring systems, underscoring a crucial area for possible improvement.

    Survival for invasive mole and choriocarcinoma is very high. Nearly all women are cured. […] Chemotherapy works very well for most women with invasive mole or choriocarcinoma. Those who need chemotherapy are divided into 3 different risk groups – low risk, high risk and ultra high risk disease. […] All women (100%) with low risk disease are successfully treated. […] All those (100%) with high risk disease are successfully treated. […] Around three quarters (75%) of those with ultra high risk disease are successfully treated.

    Choriocarcinoma, for example, is an uncommon, yet almost always curable cancer. Although choriocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumour and a life-threatening disease, it is very sensitive to chemotherapy. Virtually all women with non-metastatic disease are cured and retain their fertility; the prognosis is also very good for those with metastatic (spreading) cancer, in the early stages, but fertility may be lost. […] Women with a hydatidiform mole have an excellent prognosis. Women with a malignant form of GTD usually have a very good prognosis. […] The risk can be estimated by scoring systems such as the Modified WHO Prognostic Scoring System, wherein scores between 1 and 4 from various parameters are summed together. […] It is very important for malignant forms of GTD to be discovered in time. […] There have been improvements in these countries in the early detection of choriocarcinoma, thereby significantly reducing the mortality rate also in developing countries. […] Only a few women with GTD have a poor prognosis, e.g. some forms of stage IV GTN.
