Abstract
The endocrine function of the thymus and pituitary-adrenal system has been studied in 97 patients with trophoblastic disease (TD). Severe de cline of thymic endocrine function due to the increased blood serum le vels of ACTH and cortisole was noted. It is assumed that the using of biologically active thymic factors or the substances which induce its endocrine function for the treatment of TD patients has pathogenetic g rounds and may favour the improvement of results of the therapy.
