Subject: Granulosa Cell Tumours - Chemotherapy?
Date: 05/01/2008

I am scheduled for surgery on May 15th, 2008 to remove 1 large and 2 small Granulosa Cell Tumours. This is my third surgery for GCT - the first in 2002 with complete hysterectomy (1 tumour), a second surgery in January 2007 (4 large tumours), and now a third surgery.

No chemo prior to this as my Oncologist says that GCT appears to be resistant to treatment (both chemo and radiation). Because the tumours have returned so quickly this time, he is suggesting either bleomycin etoposide and platininum BEP or carboplatin and Taxol. The latter sounds less toxic .....

Just wondering if anyone out there has had treatment for GCTs (other than surgery), what combination, and what result ....

Thanks
