Abstrakt: The presentation of illness, response to treatment, and complications of therapy of 15 patients with hepatic metastases of choriocarcinoma are analyzed. The majority of patients received multiagent chemotherapy concomitantly with whole-liver irradiation. Two patients are now in sustained remission. Hepatotoxicity of this combined treatment regimen directly contributed to only one death in the 13 nonsurviving patients. The diagnosis, management, and prognostic significance of choriocarcinoma metastatic to the liver are discussed.
