	<abstract>&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt; Background &lt;/strong&gt;: Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) disease is excessive and inappropriate proliferation of trophoblast after termination of the pregnancy. Many attempts have been made to improve follow-up procedures, but no studies have evaluated Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) as a post treatment indicator. Thus we aimed to know β-HCG variability in post treatment pregnancies. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt; Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;40 Molar affected pregnancies were followed post-surgical treatment by serum β-HCG level in a tertiary level hospital. All subjects were treated by evacuation and followed by β-HCG every week for three weeks, then every month for six months. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;30 women were normal (group I) and 10 (group II) diagnosed as GTN cases. Serum β-HCG which obtained serially shown significant differences between two groups (p=0.001). The quantity of β-HCG/week had significantly higher level than normal females ( p&lt;0.001) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Our results suggested that β-HCG serum level could be used as a strong indicator for identifying affected patients at early stage. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;</abstract>
