AI Article Synopsis
- Early use of ECMO can be beneficial for patients with high pulmonary tumor load from gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN).
- Induction chemotherapy using cisplatin and etoposide was effectively given while on ECMO.
- After just one cycle of chemotherapy, there was a significant drop in beta-HCG levels, indicating a positive response to treatment, highlighting the need for teamwork among specialists in managing GTN with complications.
Article Abstract
•Early use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is valuable when pulmonary tumor burden from GTN is high.•Induction chemotherapy of cisplatin and etoposide was administered during ECMO successfully.•The induction chemotherapy regimen led to exponential decline in beta-HCG after 1 cycle.•Collaboration of subspecialists is necessary to treat coexisting malignancy and cardiopulmonary failure associated with GTN.
