Abstract
METHODS: French patients (≤18years) treated for dysgerminoma between 1985 and 2005 in TGM-85, 90, 95 protocols were included. Treatment was based on primary unilateral oophorectomy followed by prophylactic lymph node irradiation (1985-1998) or a wait-and-see strategy (1998-2005) for localised completely resected tumours (pS1) or by platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced diseases. RESULTS: Forty-eight patients (median age 12.8 years) were included. Six patients had gonadal dysgenesis. Two had bilateral dysgerminoma. Twenty-eight patients had loco-regional dissemination, seven with para-aortic lymph nodes. None had distant metastases. Primary surgery was performed in 47/48 patients. Among the 15 patients with pS1 tumour: seven did not receive adjuvant treatment, six had lymph node irradiation and two received chemotherapy. Among the 32 patients with advanced tumour, 31 received cisplatinum-based (n = 25) or carboplatin-based (n = 8) regimen with lymph node irradiation for one of them and one did not receive adjuvant treatment. With a median follow-up of 14 years, all patients are alive in complete remission. Five events occurred: 2 contralateral dysgerminomas, 1 peritoneal relapse and 2 second neoplasms (teratoma and melanoma). Bilateral oophorectomy was necessary for 12 patients. Desire of pregnancy was expressed for 17/36 patients with unilateral oophorectomy, which succeeded in 13 cases (5 medically assisted). 2/17 had ovarian failure. The renal function was normal in 24/25 evaluated patients treated with platinum, ifosfamide or irradiation. The hearing function was evaluated on 17/36 patients treated with platinum: 12 Brock grade-0, 3 brock grade-1 and 2 grade-4. CONCLUSION: Dysgerminoma has an excellent prognosis even in advanced cases with conservative surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. However the disease and/or treatment resulted in a high rate of bilateral oophorectomies and a significant impact on future fertility.
