Clinicopathological patterns and treatment outcomes of pediatric germ cell tumors treated at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia: a single tertiary hospital experience
This study demonstrated that the median age at diagnosis for pediatric GCTs was 4 years, with a female predominance. Mature teratoma was the most frequent histological subtype. The observed 1-year and 5-year OS rates were comparable to other studies conducted in similar setting in low- and middle-income countries.
