Overview of non-epithelial ovarian tumours: Incidence and survival in the Netherlands, 1989 –2015

About 5% of ovarian tumours have a non-epithelial histology, including germ cell tumours (GCTs), sex cord-stromal tumours (SCSTs) and sarcomas. Because these non-epithelial ovarian tumours are rare and population-based studies are scarce, the aim of this population-based study is to describe trends in the incidence, treatment  and survival of women with these tumours in the Netherlands.
