Abstract

Although primary intracranial germ cell tumors are rare, they comprimize a great proportion of pineal tumors. Prognosis of them is related to pathologic subtypes. Germinomas are more frequent and have a benign course compared to non-germinatous types. Germinomas are curable with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Non-germinomas are greatly radiosensitive. They require adjuvant radiotherapy I chemotherapy. New treatment protocols are needed to reduce the theropeutic side effects and mortality rates.

Özet

Primer intrakraniyal germ hücreli tümörler nadir görülen maligniteler olmalarına rağmen, pineal kaynaklı tümörlerin büyük kısmını oluştururlar. Prognozlan ve tedaviye yanıtlan patolojik subtiplerine göre değişir. Germinomlar, germinom olmayan tiplere göre daha sık görülürler ve benign seyrederler. Bu grup tümörlerde radyoterapi ve kemoterapi ile tam şifa elde edilebilmektedir. Non-germinatöz tümörler ise kısmen radyosensitıftır. Bu hastalara adjuvan radyoterapi ve/veya kemoterapi gereklidir. Bu hastalarda yan etkileri ve mortalite oranlarım azaltmak amacıyla yeni tedavi seçeneklerine ihtiyaç vardır.
