[IMG SURVIVOR]

A 22 year old asian lady and then I give you the story of her life and you have to figure out she has alpha thalasemia.

Now come the good stuff base on goljan

What type of cancer is she at higher risk of having?











































Alpha thalasemia can give you abortions and abortions are related to Choriocarcinoma

What diagnostic test can you do to Dx choriocarcinoma? What will the test result be like for a positive Dx?

[IMG SURVIVOR]

that is very good follow up question.

Answer elevated beta HCG, also in the ultrasound you will find snow storm

Thank you for letting me turn the tables on you, IMG SURVIVOR . But let's keep going... how to distinguish alpha from beta thalassemia? Who gets alpha and who gets beta? What is the Tx?
