Thirty-three patients with malignant germ cell tumor of the ovary received postoperative vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclosphosphamide (VAC) treatment. Eight failed VAC treatment and received etoposide, bleomycin, and cisplatin (PEB) combination chemotherapy. Three were cured and remained disease free 24-79 months after completion of PEB therapy.
