Introduction/Background* Malignant ovarian germ cell tumours (OGCT) often affect women of younger age at an early stage of disease who may desire fertility conservation. The Arbeitsgemeinschaft fuer Gynaekologische Onkologie (AGO) has established a clinicopathological (Current Ovarian geRm cell and SEx cord stromal Tumour Treatment strategies, CORSETT) database to describe treatment strategies and outcomes for these women.

Abstract Objective. A multicenter non-randomized phase II study was initiated to evaluate tolerability and efficacy of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) in combination with carboplatin in gynecologic malignancies. Methods. One hundred forty women with recurrent or advanced endometrial ( n =31), cervical or vaginal cancer ( n =31), uterine sarcomas ( n =11), or recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer ( n =67) received six courses of PLD 40 mg/m 2 and carboplatin (AUC 6) every 28 days. Results. Hematological toxicities with NCI-CTC grade 3/4 were anemia in 8%, thrombocytopenia in 14%, neutropenia in 24%, and febrile neutropenia in 2% of 652 cycles. Grade 3/4 non-hematological toxiciti…
