[Diagnosis and treatment of germ cell tumors of the ovary].
Germ cell tumors represent a relatively small proportion of all ovarian tumors but are becoming important in terms of their clinical management because most of these tumors occur in young women. This group of tumors is composed of several different types of histological feature and prognosis of patients with this group of tumors is varied. Determinations of serum markers has been recommended as a useful diagnostic procedure. A chemotherapeutic regimen of VAC or PVB has markedly improved patient survival.
