Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients With Primary Mediastinal Germ Cell Tumors: A Single-Center Experience

Abstract: Purpose: Primary mediastinal germ cell tumors (PMGCTs) are rare. The natural history and optimal treatment strategies still need to be defined. The aim of the study was to summarize the clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, and prognostic factors of PMGCTs. Methods: Twenty-four patients with PMGCTs who were treated from December 2008 to January 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. The Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression analysis were used to evaluate factors associ… Show more

“…[29] Compared with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP) regimen, rituximab and its use with intensified chemotherapy such as R-Hyper-cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone and R-EPOCH (etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin) might improve the response rate and survival outcome for patients with mediastinal NHL, especially for PMBCL. [29][30][31] Although Guech-Ongey et al [32,33] found acquired immune deficiency syndrome-related Burkitt lymphoma incidence declined at low CD4 counts, suggesting functional CD4 lymphocytes may be required for BL to develop, we consider lower CD4 counts to reflect more severe immunodeficiency, which is likely to cause opportunistic infections and other malignant tumors for patients with AR-NHL.…”

“…Через те, що ППГК можуть бути основою формування будь якого з трьох зародкових листків та їх комбінацій, пухлини, які виникають з них, можуть мати різ номанітний гістоґенез. Саме мультипотент ність мігруючих клітин пояснює розмах варіа цій їх гістологічних форм, міграційних моделей та первинної локалізації [2,10].…”
