Fertility management for malignant ovarian germ cell tumors patients

Malignant Germ Cell Tumors have primarily affecting adolescents and young adults. In advanced disease, greater than 70% of patients can be cured with standard chemotherapy regimens and fertility-sparing surgery appears to be safe with excellent survival after long-term follow-up. Due to their rarity, follow up and fertility management is largely based on trials of epithelial ovarian cancer or on few small studies. We report a review of the literature studies about the assessment, the monitoring and the treatment of fertility for Malignant Germ Cell Tumors as pratical guidelines for management of fertility in these patients.
