Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the clinical-pathologicalfeatures and prognostic factors of malignant ovarian germ cell tumor(MOGCT).
Methods: The clinical data of 132 MOGCTs treated in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University between during October 1997 to December2014 was retrospectively reviewed, Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyse survival curves; The different prognoses between different clinical features were evaluated by univariate analysis and log-rank test; the multivariate analysis was performed by the Cox proportional hazard regression method. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the influence of different factors on the prognoses by Spss20.0 software.
Results: There were 56 cases (42.4%) of teratoma, 28 cases (21.2%) of yolk sac tumor, 28 cases (21.2%) of dysgerminoma, 18 cases (13.6%) of mixed germ cell tumors, 2 patients (1.5%) of others. FIGO stage: Ⅰ stage 115 cases (87.1%); Ⅱ stage 6 cases (4.5%), Ⅲ stage 9 case (6.8%), Ⅳ stage 2 cases (1.5%). During the follow-up of 3 to 207 months, of which 5 cases were lost, the rate of lost was 3.8%, 12 patients recurrence, 5 died, 5-year disease-free survival rate was 88.7%, the 5-year overall survival rate was 96.9%. Univariate analysis showed that: the age of patients, comprehensive staging surgery, lymph nodes dissection and omentectomy、Pathological type and tumor location have no influence on five year disease-free survival and overall survival rate, and fertility-sparing surgery has no influence on five year disease-free survival rate (91.5%,78.2%), but were associated with five years overall survival rate (98.5%,85.4%;
P=0.041). FIGO stage has influence on prognosis (
P< 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that only FIGO stage was the independent factor affecting the five year disease-free survival rate and overall survival rate (
P=0.031,
P=0.029).
Conclusions: MOGCTs always affect children and teenagers and has a good prognosis. FIGO stage is the independent prognostic factor. For young nulliparous patients, we can take conservative surgery without systematically pelvic lymph node dissection and omentectomy, in order to preserve fertility and reduce surgical trauma as far as possible.
