There were 15 patients with seminomas, 39 with nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCTs), and four with mixed germ cell tumors (GCTs). The 5-year overall survival was 45%, with a median survival time of 32.37 months. Except for the lost follow-up of seven patients, a univariate analysis of overall survival on the remaining patients showed significant differences in pathological type (mixed GCTs were regarded as NSGCTs) (p=0.036), tumor size (> 11cm) (p=0.006), and other sites metastases (OSM) (p=0.001), respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that OSM and surgical resection were independently associated with overall survival in all kinds of PMMGCTs.Conclusion: OSM was an independent risk factor for patients with PMMGCTs. Surgery was proved to contribute to long-term survival. More in-depth clinical evidence is urgently needed to guide the treatment of PMMGCTs.Keywords: primary mediastinal malignant germ cell tumors, surgery, prognosisZhang JChen YLiu LZhou MHuang CGuo CLi SDove Medical Pressarticleprimary mediastinal malignant germ cell tumorssurgeryprognosis Neoplasms.
