復發性生殖細胞瘤的治療

Treatment of Recurrent Germ Cell Tumors

文獻探討對復發性或持續性卵巢生殖細胞癌，並沒有標準的治療方式。對有長期緩解後復發的患者，如以手術切除復發的病灶，則與首次做減積手術者有同樣好的結果。文獻上對復發性卵巢生殖細胞瘤治療的藥物種類很多，包括各種首次化療時所用的藥物，和對復發性睪丸生殖癌的藥物。

In recurrent or persistent ovarian germ cell tumors, there is no standardized approach to the treatment of it. Resection of recurrent disease after long periods of remission is largely accepted to have a similar effect to primary cytoreductive surgery. Further platinum-based combination therapy is the best chance for salvage. Chemotherapy regimens use in literature of recurrent ovarian germ cell tumors vary widely and include the same regimens used in primary therapy and agents active against recurrent testicular germ cell cancers.
