New treatment for ectopic pregnancy

Scientists at The Ritchie Centre and at Centre for Cancer Research at Monash Institute of Medical Research (MIMR) have published two papers in the October issue of the leading journal Obstetrics and Gynecology. 

The work has shown that combination medical treatment - tablets taken by mouth - is as effective as surgery for ectopic pregnancy. This breakthrough promises a safer treatment for ectopic pregnancy and a treatment that will preserve fertility.

The work was funded by a MIMR Flagship Grant.

Congratulations to the research teams.
