Abstract

Ovarian germ-cell tumors represent about 15-20% of all ovarian tumors. They are characterised with high histological and clinical heterogeneity. Ovarian germ-cell tumors can be both benign and malignant. Nowadays, the prognostic markers of ovarian germ-cell tumors are less studied. In particular, there is only limited information about the phenotypic determinants of the malignant transformation of benign germ-cell tumors, as well as lack of information about the relapse development after treatment of malignant germ-cell tumors. In presented review article, the detailed cahracteristics of ovarian germ-cell tumors and the problematic issues in the determination of their prognostic features are discussed.
