CHEN Xiaofen, et al. Clinical analysis of malignant ovarian germ cell tumor[J]. Journal of Chongqing Medical University, 2005,(3):456-458. DOI: 10.13406/j.cnki.cyxb.2005.03.042.
and prognosis for malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary.Methods:A total of 38 patients with malignant ovarian germ cell tumors(15 yolk sac tumors
10 dysgerminomas
9 immature teratomas
and 4 mature cystic teratomas with malignant transformation)were analyzed retrospectively.Results:The median age of the patients was 25 years(range 11~54).There were 18 FLGO stage Ⅰ tumors (47.4%)
7 stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ tumors respectively(18.4%)
2 stage Ⅳ tumors (5.3%)
and 4 recurrent tumors (10.5%).The overall 2-year survival rate was 76.3%
the survival rate of patients with stageⅠ-Ⅱdisease was 96.0%.Of the cases who preserved fertility
6 patients had the desire of fertility
4 healthy live births were recorded.Conclusion:The cure rate of malignant ovarian germ cell tumors has improved greatly.The staging and treatment approaches are important prognostic factors.Conservative surgery and preservation of fertility are feasible.
