What the document covers
The PDF is a comprehensive, fully structured clinical reference built from Berek & Novak's Gynecology, Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease, Harrison's 22E, and PubMed literature up to 2025. It includes:
Sections & Key Content
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| 1. Epidemiology | Incidence table comparing paediatric vs adult, age peaks, prognosis overview |
| 2. WHO Classification & Types | Full WHO classification table; detailed entries for dysgerminoma, YST (Schiller-Duval bodies), immature teratoma with Norris grading table, embryonal carcinoma, choriocarcinoma, mixed GCTs, dermoid cysts |
| 3. Clinical Presentation & Diagnosis | Symptoms frequency table; tumour markers table (AFP with age-adjusted norms caveat for infants - critical boxed note); imaging modality table |
| 4. FIGO 2014 Staging | Full stage IA through IV staging table |
| 5. Surgical Management | Principles of USO + conservation; stage-by-stage surgical approach table; DSD/gonadal dysgenesis; flowchart for surgical decision-making |
| 6. Chemotherapy | BEP regimen table (dose/route/mechanism); cycles-by-stage table; toxicity table with paediatric-specific notes (ototoxicity, secondary leukaemia, pulmonary); alternative regimens (carboplatin/etoposide, TIP, EMA-CO, HDCT/ASCT); radiation role; chemotherapy decision flowchart |
| 7. Fertility & Hormones | Fertility outcomes data (2025 systematic review); HRT for bilateral oophorectomy cases |
| 8. Surveillance | Time-based surveillance protocol table; growing teratoma syndrome |
| 9. Prognosis | Survival by tumour type and stage |
| 10. Paediatric vs Adult Comparison | 18-row detailed comparison table covering biology, markers, grading significance, cisplatin ototoxicity, bleomycin omission, etoposide secondary malignancy, DSD, surgical approach, follow-up |
| 11. MDT | 11-member team roles table |
| 12. Emerging Concepts | 2025 controversies (carboplatin vs cisplatin, bleomycin omission, surveillance vs chemo in stage IA YST, immunotherapy); recurrence management |
| 13. References | 10 key references including PMIDs for recent literature |

Quick Text Summary of All Key Content
Types of Paediatric Ovarian GCTs
| Type | Key Marker | Malignant? |
|---|---|---|
| Dysgerminoma | LDH, PLAP | Yes |
| Yolk Sac Tumour | AFP | Yes |
| Immature Teratoma | AFP (mild) | Yes (grade-dependent) |
| Embryonal Carcinoma | AFP + hCG | Yes |
| Choriocarcinoma | hCG | Yes |
| Mature Cystic Teratoma | None | No (benign) |
| Mixed GCT | Multiple | Yes |
Standard Chemotherapy - BEP
- Bleomycin 30 units IV - Days 1, 8, 15
- Etoposide 100 mg/m²/day IV - Days 1–5
- Platinum (cisplatin) 20 mg/m²/day IV - Days 1–5
- Cycle length: 21 days | Stage IC–II: 3 cycles | Stage III–IV: 4 cycles
Key Paediatric vs Adult Differences
- AFP must use age-adjusted norms in children under 2
- Children with immature teratoma do well with surgery alone regardless of grade
- Higher risk of cisplatin ototoxicity - audiometry mandatory
- COG protocols use carboplatin + etoposide (no bleomycin) for low-risk paediatric cases
- Fertility preservation is paramount - USO always preferred over bilateral oophorectomy
