The Sheffield Trophoblastic Disease Centre

The Sheffield Trophoblastic Disease Centre was one of three established in the UK in 1973 to screen for gestational trophoblastic tumours (a spectrum of disorders including hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma) - the others are at Charing Cross Hospital in London and at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee. The Sheffield and London Centres also treat persistent tumours. Sheffield provides the service for the North of England and North Wales.

Information for patients this section includes information for women diagnosed with trophoblastic disease, for those who require drug treatment for persistent disease and useful information about the Sheffield Centre.
The Centre holds a drop-in clinic for women who have had molar pregnancy and who are being followed-up. In 2008/9 the clinic will be held on Tuesdays.
We now have a nurse counsellor in post - find out more
