SUCCESSFUL PREGNANCIES AFTER MALIGNANT OVARIAN GERM-CELL TUMOR

The treatment of ovarian germ cell rumours has changed during the past two decades. The use of conservative surgery and adjuvant chemotherap y instead of radiotherapy is now often but not always employed. We rep ort three cases of young patients treated for ovarian germ cell tumour s, who were subsequently able to complete successful pregnancies. We t hink that in view of the possibility of sparing the young patients' ch ildbearing potential with a better quality of life, this therapeutic a pproach should be utilized whenever applicable.
