Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Intracranial mixed germ cell tumors (iMGCTs) are rare neoplasms requiring precise diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
  • Early diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial for improving the prognosis of iMGCTs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the diagnostic markers and optimal treatment strategies for intracranial mixed germ cell tumors.
  • To analyze the relationship between surgical extent, adjuvant therapies, and patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of clinical data from 17 patients diagnosed with iMGCTs.
  • Evaluation of patient demographics, serum tumor markers (AFP, β-HCG, CEA), imaging, pathology, treatment modalities, and follow-up data.

Main Results:

  • Mixed germ cell tumors, often containing teratoma components (70.6%), occurred in patients with a mean age of 11.1 years.
  • Gross total resection (GTR) was associated with lower recurrence rates (2/9 GTR vs. 7/8 subtotal resection).
  • Adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy improved outcomes, with 6 patients achieving satisfactory results after salvage treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Diagnosis of iMGCTs requires integrating clinical, serological (tumor markers), radiological, and pathological findings.
  • Gross total resection significantly reduces the risk of tumor recurrence.
  • A combination of rational chemotherapy and radiotherapy is essential for favorable prognosis in iMGCT patients.
