Comparison of overall and patterns of care in patients with a malignant ovarian germ cell tumor by age in the United States: a National Cancer Database (2004-2016) analysis.

Findings suggest that women aged ≥40 years who are diagnosed with ovarian germ cell tumors have worse overall survival than those aged <40, independent of stage, disease characteristics, and treatment. Our study highlights the need for future research to better understand reasons for poorer outcomes in women aged ≥40 years.
