I agree but: I would like to follow this question with you to see what other answers you get esp since I am not a gyn onc. With stage 1 they usually still give single agent Methotrexate as adjuvant therapy. All stages get followed with serial bhcgs for 12 months and then treated with multagent chemo if the bhcg increases. Weekly may not be needed if stable but 12 months of monitoring is standard.
