Abstract

The classification of the International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FIGO) for Trophoblastic Disease was changed at the meeting in Washington in September 2000 by combining the basic FIGO anatomic staging with the modified World Health Organization (WHO) risk factor scoring system. This presentation outlines the new system and provides a critical evaluation of the issues that have been resolved and those that are still outstanding.
