PURE DYSGERMINOMA OVARIAN AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF NEOPLASTIC DISEASES 1971-1985

Abstract

48 cases of ovarian pure dysgerminoma have been treated at INEN from 1971 to 1985. 5 cases were primarily treated at INEN and 43 (90%) were transferred from other hospitals in the country after surgery. Treatment policy was based on the NIE start radiotherapy if it was required, after confirming the optimal surgery according to clinical stage. 8 cases were staying I, 1 case of stay II, 22 cases were staying III, 8 cases with IV stay in 4 cases and could not establish clinical stage due to lack of data on the clinical history of the patient transferred. The on life at 5 years without disease for all stages was possible only go in 4 cases (3 stay III and stage IV 1); However a group of 11 patients without disease was followed for 2 years (9 cases of stage III and stage IV 2). The mortality for all stays in this group was 18.7% (9 patients) 6 are in stage IV disease and 3 with stage III disease. Despite numerous casuistry, the statistical data evaluation and comparison was not possible because of the large number of patients lost to follow-up view (56.3%). Management by clinical stay is succinctly described, with emphasis on the first surgery. The need for better communication between the hospital emphasizes reference and the NIE for optimal resource use specialized hospital.
