Radboudumc has extensive experience in patient care and scientific research in the field of gestational trophoblastic diseases, a group of syndromes that arise in the placenta. Radboudumc’s center of expertise in gestational trophoblastic diseases was established in 2015.
Radboudumc’s center of expertise in gestational trophoblastic diseases is a collaboration between doctors and other healthcare providers from various Radboudumc departments. An important task is advising all Dutch gynecologists who counsel patients with a gestational trophoblastic disease. We also try to keep the lines of communication with the doctors in a patient's vicinity open as much as possible.
The Netherlands has had a registration system for gestational trophoblastic diseases since 1975. The central molar registration is located at Radboudumc, as well as the national reference laboratory for provisions of the hCG (a pregnancy hormone). Every molar pregnancy must be reported and registered here.
Our specialists are in close contact with their colleagues elsewhere in the world, which keeps our knowledge and skills in the field of gestational trophoblastic diseases up to date.
The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport has acknowledged the center of expertise in gestational trophoblastic diseases.
