Dysgerminoma accounts for 1% of all ovarian cancers and for 50% of all ovarian germ cell malignancies. Low stage patients (50%) can be cured with local treatment. The aim of this trial was to study the objective tumour response rate and toxicity of PVB (cisplatin, vinblastine, bleomycin)
OBJECTIVE
Ovarian germ cell malignancies are a rare group of chemosensitive malignances that predominantly occur in young women. Bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin (BEP) regimen was consolidated, by previous studies, as the standard treatment. This Brazilian single institutional study was performed to
Seventeen patients with germ cell tumours of ovary were treated with 4 cycles of cisplatin, bleomycin and vinblastine (PVB) chemotherapy (CT). All patients had undergone prior surgery: hysterectomy + bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy + omentectomy-5, salpingo-oophorectomy + debulking surgery-10 and
Ovarian or adnexal tumors are very rare in patients below the age of 18 years, most of them being functional cysts, only 10% being malignant. We report 3 cases of ovarian tumors with the aim of revealing the particularities regarding the diagnosis and management of benign and malignant BACKGROUND
Ovarian tumors have generally been considered rare in the pediatric age group. We reported our experience dealing with pediatric ovarian tumors during an 8-year period.
METHODS
Between January 1998 and December 2006, 37 girls with ovarian tumors were treated at the Department of Pediatric
