Abstract
Presence of lung metastases in low‐risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is generally considered not to influence prognosis. However, in a recent study in the Netherlands, GTN patients with lung metastases had a higher recurrence rate and more disease‐specific deaths compared with patients without metastases. The aim of the present study was to validate these findings in a different country.
