Acute cardiopulmonary failure in a young woman with high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia: A case of induction chemotherapy during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

•Early use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is valuable when pulmonary tumor burden from GTN is high.•Induction chemotherapy of cisplatin and etoposide was administered during ECMO successfully.•The induction chemotherapy regimen led to exponential decline in beta-HCG after 1 cycle.•Collaboration of subspecialists is necessary to treat coexisting malignancy and cardiopulmonary failure associated with GTN.
