Overview

Adjuvant chemotherapy is usually considered for patients with poor prognosis.Hormone treatment is usually added for advanced granulosa cell tumors(GrCTs), given their frequent association with oestrogen dependence and usually indolent course Bone densitometry monitoring is indicated for patients receiving aromatase inhibitors

Medical Therapy

Chemotherapy

Adjuvant chemotherapy is usually considered for patients with poor prognosis factors such as: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

  • Large tumor size
  • High mitotic activity-index or
  • Ruptured tumors
  • BEP(bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin) is the most accepted regimen even for recurrent disease that is refractory to hormone therapy

Hormonal therapy

Hormone treatment is usually added for advanced granulosa cell tumors(GrCTs), given their frequent association with oestrogen dependence and usually indolent course Bone densitometry monitoring is indicated for patients receiving aromatase inhibitors
