Popis: Highlights • 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.
