Experience with dysgerminomas at the Cancer Control Agency of British Columbia.

Twenty-five cases of ovarian dysgerminoma are reviewed. Most commonly the tumor occurred in the younger age group. Four tumors were found during pregnancy. In seven patients metastases occurred; only two of these have died of dysgerminoma. Corrected 5-year survival is 91%. Treatment consisting of surgery and radiation appears to give best results. Chemotherapy is of benefit in some cases.Results are discussed and current treatment policy at CCABC is presented.
