Abstract

Endodermal sinüs tümör, mevcut human malignitelerin en hızlı büyüyeni olup herhangi bir gecikme fatal olabilir. Bu nedenle polikliniklere basvuran hastalar ayrıntılı muayene edilmeli ve ozellikle vierge hastalarda rektal tuse ihmal edillmemelidir. Ovarial tümör tesbit edilen vakalar dikkatle izlenmeli, tetkik edilmeli (AFP, ultrasonografi gibi) ve tedavisi diizenlenmelidir.
