Management of malignant germ cell tumours of ovary. Indian Journal of Cancer. 1992 Sep; 29(3): 122-5http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/49415Ten patients of the advanced malignant germ cell tumours of the ovary were treated by cisplatin based combination chemotherapy after initial conservation surgery. Eight patients completed course containing cisplatinum, vinblastine and bleomycin. Five patients (62.5%) achieved CR while 2 (25%) attained PR. One patient died due to tumour lysis and respiratory infection. Rest two patients did not turn up in follow up. Long term follow up indicates above regimen to be highly effective. However poor performance status, advanced stage of disease and post operative gross residual disease were poor prognostic factors in our patients.engAdolescentAdultAntineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols --therapeutic useBleomycin --administration & dosageChildChild, PreschoolCisplatin --administration & dosageFemaleHumansInfantInfant, NewbornNeoplasms, Germ Cell and Embryonal --drug therapyOvarian Neoplasms --drug therapyVinblastine --administration & dosageClinical Trial
