Germ cell tumours

Figure 2: A: Overall survival for testicular germ cell tumours (seminoma) in panel A is clearly superior to the overall survival for ovarian germ cell tumours (dysgerminoma) shown in panel B. C. Overall survival for testicular germ cell tumours (non-seminoma) broken down by age group is clearly superior to the 1D figure showing overall survival for ovarian germ cell tumours (non-dysgerminoma), broken down by age group.

Lower survival rates for women than men with germ cell tumours

Women with a type of ovarian cancer known as germ cell tumours have a worse prognosis than men with similar tumours, i.e. testicular cancer. After five years with the disease, 98 percent of men were alive while the survival rate for women was only 85 percent. This has been revealed by a new study from Uppsala University and Uppsala University Hospital published in the Journal of Internal Medicine.
