Patient Registration

After you have been diagnosed with a “Molar Pregnancy” it is very important that your doctor registers your details with us so that we can monitor and take care of you in the best possible way. Your consent/agreement to this registration will be required.

The information collected about patients is stored electronically in a secure server at CUMH and is only available to specific staff who will treat you and work directly with the Gestational Trophoblastic Disease Registry. The GTD Registry is governed by the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1988 (Amended 2003).

The purpose of this website is to provide information to clinicians regarding the early management of molar pregnancies/trophoblastic disease and the registration of patients with the National Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD) Treatment and Advisory Centre at CUMH. With the support of NCCP and the HSE we have published our national guidelines on the management of trophoblastic disease and these guidelines are in this section of the website. We have also included some “helpful hints” for clinicians regarding the initial management of patients with complete and partial moles and suggestions as to how these patients could be counselled regarding their diagnosis.

Our role at the GTD centre is to help monitor the follow up and make treatment decisions for patients with trophoblastic disease. Any patient that you register with us will be contacted by our clinical nurse specialist and the follow up protocol will be discussed. The registration form is available on this page for download. The registration form should be filled out in full and signed by the patient who consents to their data being stored on our database at our office in CUMH. The completed registration form should be emailed to our GTD office (gtd@hse.ie). The registration form will not be accepted without a copy of the histopathology report.

If you wish to ask advice about any patient with GTD or give us feedback on the website we are happy to receive an email at gtd@hse.ie
