Predicting outcomes in malignant ovarian germ cell tumors using the modified International Germ Cell Cancer Collaborative Group classification system.

The modified International Germ Cell Cancer Collaborative Group risk classification system was efficacious in patients with malignant ovarian germ cell tumors and was significantly associated with disease-free survival and overall survival. Risk assessment after neoadjuvant chemotherapy may be more predictive than stratification at initial diagnosis. Age and tumor stage were definitive prognostic factors for germ cell tumors, which may need to be incorporated in the stratification system.
