Germ cell tumours.
Germ cell tumours of the ovary are the most common ovarian cancer in women who are 20 years of age or less. Successful treatment of early stage disease is available. Proper management requires strict adherence to the guidelines set forth. Failure to properly identify the elements present in a tumour, perform the correct surgical procedure, or render the appropriate post-operative therapy can result in needless disaster.
