title: Primary choriocarcinoma of the ovary.
abstract: Eight patients with choriocarcinoma of the ovary treated at the Choriocarcinoma Research and Treatment Center are presented and the previously reported cases reviewed. A more optimistic prognosis can be offered for these tumors than previously. Four of the 8 patients are in remission and 4 have died. Triple therapy should be used for these tumors despite the increase in toxicity.
