Ovarian germ cell tumors, while very rare, are important beyond their incidence because they occur in young people and they are highly responsive to appropriate treatment. Since 1991, when this topic was last discussed in Seminars in Oncology, there have been a few important publications specifically devoted to ovarian germ cell tumors. In addition, a number of important studies have added to the knowledge base of chemotherapy in testis cancer. This article reviews and updates progress made in this field.
卵巢生殖细胞肿瘤虽然非常罕见,但除了其发病率之外也很重要,因为它们发生在年轻人中,并且对适当的治疗有高度反应。自1991年该主题上次在《肿瘤学研讨会》中讨论以来,已经有一些专门针对卵巢生殖细胞肿瘤的重要出版物。此外,一些重要研究增加了睾丸癌化疗的知识库。本文回顾并更新了该领域取得的进展。
