Germ cell tumor risk factors
Risk Factors
- Ovarian germ cell tumors tend to affect individuals with gonadal dysgenesis at a greater extent.[1]
- Maternal hormonal factors are another things associated with the increased risk of the development of ovarian germ cell tumors in daughters. These factors include:[2][3][4]
- Maternal use of exogenous hormones (ie, supportive hormones or oral contraceptives)
- Maternal high body mass index
- Other reproductive factors also has been observed to be associated with the development of these tumors such as:
- Parity
- Oral contraceptive use
- Age at first and last births
Mature teratoma
- Common risk factors in the malignant transformation of mature teratoma include:
Dysgerminoma
- Common risk factors in the development of dysgerminoma are gonadal dysgenesis, androgen insensitivity syndrome and gonadoblastoma.[7]
