Furthermore, the mixed GCTs include numerous and diverse histological combinations such as an immature teratoma with germinoma, an immature teratoma with emb

Overview for management,reover, the similarity of the clinical presentations and radiological findings for these tumors makes selection of the management protocol even more complex. The degree to which radiation therapy should be combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of each type of GCTs, therefore, has been debatabl

Chemotherapy for CNS GCTs,us GCTs). Germinomas are exquisitely radiosensitive; 65% to 95% 5-year survival rates have been reported for patients with germinomas when the treatment is irradiation alone. Non-germinomatous GCTs are less sensitive to irradiation and the 5-year survival rates for patients afflicted with them range

Radiotherapy for CNS GCTs, determine the radiosensitivity of the tumor without histological confirmation. However, there is no longer any justification for the use of “diagnostic radiotherapy” or “radiation tests” in order to inspect the histologic nature of pineal and neurohypophyseal lesions. Radiotherapy should not be giv
