Lavas or ignimbrites? Permian felsic volcanic rocks of the Tisza Mega-unit (SE Hungary) revisited: A petrographic study.

Permian felsic volcanic rocks were encountered in petroleum exploration boreholes in SE Hungary (eastern Pannonian Basin, Tisza Mega-unit, Békés-Codru Unit) during the second half of the 20th century. They were considered to be predominantly lavas (the so-called "Battonya quartz-porphyry") and were genetically connected to the underlying "Battonya granite." New petrographic observations, however, showed that the presumed lavas are crystal-poor (8-20 vol%) rhyolitic ignimbrites near Battonya and resedimented pyroclastic or volcanogenic sedimentary rocks in the Tótkomlós and the Biharugra areas, respectively.

The Role of Surgery in the Management of Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia The Hungarian Experience.

Objective: To review the role of surgery in the management of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) over the past 38 years in our national trophoblastic disease center.

Study Design: Between January 1, 1977, and December 31, 2014, 371 patients with low-risk GTN and 190 patients with high-risk GTN were treated with chemotherapy, surgical interventions, or both. The indications for hysterectomy included excision of large uterine tumor masses, uterine hemorrhage or sepsis, or a drug-resistant uterine focus.

Changes in the management of high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia in the National Trophoblastic Disease Center of Hungary.

Objective: To compare the clinical management of patients with high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) among the periods of 1977-1990, 1991-2000, and 2001-2012 at the National Trophoblastic Disease Center of Hungary and to assess the efficacy of the FIGO 2000 staging and risk factor scoring system in comparison to the original WHO prognostic scoring system (1983).

Study Design: We reviewed the medical records of 185 patients with high-risk GTN. From 1977-2000, patients were classified according to the original WHO prognostic scoring system (1983).

Clinical epidemiology and management of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia in Hungary in the past 34 years.

Objective: To review our clinical experience in the treatment of patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) over the past 34 years in our national trophoblastic disease center.

Study Design: Between January 1, 1977, and December 31, 2010, 331 patients with low-risk GTN and 174 patients with high-risk GTN (altogether 505) were treated. The patients were directed to the national trophoblastic disease center from all parts of Hungary.

30 years' experience in the treatment of low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia in Hungary.

Objective: To review the clinical experience in the treatment of patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) over the past 30 years in a national trophoblastic disease center.

Study Design: Between January 1, 1977, and December 31, 2007, 302 patients with low-risk GTN were treated. The patients were directed to our institution from all parts of Hungary.

Diagnosis and treatment of high-risk metastatic gestational trophoblastic neoplasia in Hungary.

Objective: To review results in treatment of high-risk metastatic gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) in Hungary.

Study Design: Between January 1, 1977, and December 31, 2006, 142 patients with high-risk metastatic GTN were treated. Patients were 14-51 years of age (average 27.

25 years' experience in the treatment of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia in Hungary.

Objective: To review our clinical experience in the treatment of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) over the past 25 years in our national trophoblastic disease center.

Study Design: Between January 1, 1977, and December 31, 2001, we treated 355 patients with GTN. The patients were between 14 and 53 years of age, with an average of 28.

How long should patients be followed after molar pregnancy? Analysis of serum hCG follow-up data.

Objective: We analyzed human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) follow-up data of patients with molar pregnancy. Women often do not complete recommended post-disease screening. Our purpose was to determine if continuing follow up of uncomplicated molar cases beyond attaining undetectable hCG levels is necessary for detecting relapse of gestational trophoblastic disease.
