Ovarian cancer in children and adolescents: A unique clinical challenge.
Ovarian cancer in children and adolescents is rare, presenting unique diagnostic and management challenges distinct from adult cases. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of this disease, focusing on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to care. We discuss the common presentation of ovarian malignant masses in young patients, highlighting the role of imaging and tumor markers in diagnosis. The paper delves into the surgical management of these tumors, emphasizing the importance of fertility-sparing techniques whenever possible. We explore the role of adjuvant chemotherapy, considering histological subtypes and disease stage. Furthermore, we address the good prognosis associated with early diagnosis and treatment, with survival rates exceeding 90 % in many cases. Finally, the need for long-term follow-up to monitor for potential recurrence is underscored and the long-term treatment-related effects are addressed. This review aims to guide clinicians in providing optimal care for this unique patient population, emphasizing the importance of balancing oncological control with the preservation of future fertility and quality of life.
