Overview
- Adjuvant Chemotherapy is recommended for all the patients with diagnosed malignant ovarian germ cell tumor, except those with stage 1a, stage 1a, 1b dysgerminoma, and grade 1 immature teratomas. The platinum-based regimen is currently the most effective management.
Medical Therapy
- There is no pharmacologic therapy for the mature teratoma.
- Adjuvant Chemotherapy is recommended for all the patients with diagnosed malignant ovarian germ cell tumor, except those with stage 1a, stage 1a and 1b dysgerminoma, and grade 1 immature teratomas.[1][2]
- In those with stage 1a dysgerminoma and immature teratoma, surgery will be curative.
- Platinum-based regimen is currently the most effective management.
- This regimen is as following:
- Bleomycin 30 Unit IV per dose be given on day 1, 8, and 15 of the cycle
- It must be diluted in 50 ml of normal saline (NS) and over 10 minutes.
- Etoposide 100 mg/m2 IV per day be given on days 1-5.
- It must be diluted in 500 ml NS (concentration less than 0.4 mg/mL) and administered over one hour.
- Cisplatin 20 mg/m2 IV per day be given on Days 1 through 5.
- It must be diluted in 250 mL NS and administer over two hours.
- No aluminum needles or intravenous sets be used for the administration.
- Bleomycin 30 Unit IV per dose be given on day 1, 8, and 15 of the cycle
- This regimen is given every 21 days for three cycles (or four cycles in the presence of bulky residual disease after surgery.
- Factors that should be monitored during the treatment:
- Complete blood count (CBC) weekly during treatment
- Liver function test (LFT) before each treatment cycle
- Creatinin and electrolytes before each treatment cycle
- Pulmonary function test before starting bleomycin and at repeated intervals
- The ovrall survival rate for the patients treated with this regimen is 87% to 98%.[3][4]
- This regimen is as following:
Treatment during pregnancy
- In pregnant women, chemotherapy should be postponed at least until the end of the first trimester.[5]
- Etoposide use is associated with teratogenicity during the first trimester of the pregnancy and therefore should be avoided.[6]
- Also its use is associated with neonatal delayed growth and bone marrow suppresssion.[7]
- Paclitaxel-carboplatin or cisplatin-vinblastine-bleomycin may is recommended to be used during the preganacy.[6]
