Fertility‐Sparing Surgery, Treatment Strategies and Survival of Women With Malignant Ovarian Germ Cell Tumours—A Descriptive Analysis of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Gynäkologische Onkologie CORSETT Database

Key Points

To analyze the impact of fertility-sparing surgery on women diagnosed with malignant ovarian germ cell tumors.
Descriptive analysis using the CORSETT database
Focus on treatment strategies at AGO centres
Evaluation of overall survival and recurrence rates
Fertility-sparing surgery was the preferred method with no negative impact on overall survival
Malignant ovarian germ cell tumors showed high recurrence rates, particularly in patients with mixed types

Abstract

In this descriptive analysis, FSS was the surgical method of choice for patients with MOGCT in AGO centres without negative impact on OS. MOGCTs appeared however as a heterogeneous group of tumours with particularly high recurrence rates for patients with MM.
