Overview

Depending on the extent of the tumor at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as good.[1]

Prognosis

Ovarian germ cell tumors are usually cured if found and treated early. Certain factors affect prognosis and treatment options. The prognosis and treatment options depend on the following:[1]

  • The type of cancer
  • The size of the tumor
  • The stage of cancer (whether it affects part of the ovary, involves the whole ovary, or has spread to other places in the body)
  • Microscopic analysis of tumor cells
  • The patient’s general health
  • Ovarian germ cell tumors are usually cured if found and treated early
