Hanot due to the fact that trophoblastic tumor is a loose proliferation of one of the sources of embryonic



Trophoblastic tumor, or trophoblastic disease, is a very dangerous cancer. The exact origin of this tumor is not known, but there is an assumption that it may be viral or genetic in nature. As a result of the study of biopsy material, a set of antigenic markers was identified that characterize this form of malignant neoplasms as a manifestation of diseases of the immune system.
