Treatment depends on whether the tumor is dysgerminoma or another type of germ cell tumor. Treatment of dysgerminoma may be: Chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy. Treatment of other germ cell tumors may include the following: Chemotherapy. Surgery with or without chemotherapy. A clinical trial of high-dose...

- Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumor Treatment
After ovarian low malignant potential tumor has been diagnosed, tests are done to find out if cancer cells have spread within the ovary or to other parts of the body. The process used to find out whether cancer has spread within the ovary or to other parts of the body is called staging. The information gathered from the staging process determines the stage of the disease. It is important to know the stage in order to plan treatment. Certain tests or procedures are used to determine stage....

- Newly Identified Tumor Suppressor Cooperates With p53 to Protect Mice Against Tumors
Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, have identified a gene that plays an important role in preventing tumors in mice. In a study published in the Aug. 8, 2003, issue of the journal Cell*, the researchers demonstrate that reducing or eliminating the H2AX gene in mice that lack p53, a well-known tumor suppressor gene, causes an increase in the number of tumors that develop. "This work demonstrates that H2AX plays an important role in...

- Gestational Trophoblastic Tumor Treatment
Treatment may be one of the following: Removal of the mole using dilation and curettage (D & C) and suction evacuation. Surgery to remove the uterus (hysterectomy). Following surgery, the doctor will follow the patient closely with regular blood tests to make sure the level of beta HCG in the blood falls to normal levels. If the blood level of beta HCG increases or does not go down to normal, more tests will be done to see whether the tumor has spread. Treatment will then depend on whether...
