It has the characteristics of early onset, early detection and good prognosis, but the preoperative diagnosis is difficult. Although the serum tumor markers, pelvic ultrasound and intraoperative frozen biopsy could assist the diagnosis, the accuracy is low. Surgical removal is the main management. In recent years, the surgical treatment of BOT gradually changed from radical operation to fertility preserving surgery,adjuvant chemotherapy is generally unnecessary. However, there has been widespread controversy about its early diagnosis, therapy and prognosis. This article reviews the research status of BOT diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, in order to provide references for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of BOT and new treatment technology research.
