Salvage chemotherapy for refractory germ cell tumors.
At the University of Southern California (USC), it is our practice to begin by estimating the likelihood of a durable remission based on individual characteristics. Factors including pure seminoma, prior complete response (CR) to cisplatin therapy, low-volume metastases, and a testicular primary predict for cure with standard-dose salvage[1-4] and may help clinicians identify patients for whom ...
متن کاملMalignant germ cell tumors of the ovary and testis. An immunohistologic study of 69 cases.
An immunohistologic study of 21 patients with germ cell tumors of the testis with m easured serum levels o f hum an chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and alpha fetoprotein (AFP) was undertaken to correlate the various types of neoplasms with the presence of these tum or markers in the tissue and serum. The same immunoperoxidase technique was applied to 48 patients with m alignant germ cell tumors of...

Most of the malignant mixed germ cell tumours consists of dysgerminoma accompanied by endodermal sinus tumours, immature teratoma or choriocarcinoma. There are only few case reports of mixed germ cell tumours with different combinations of malignant components. We r...
متن کاملThe Epidemiology of Malignant Germ Cell Tumors: The EUROCARE Study
Germ cell tumors (GCTs) comprise a heterogeneous group of tumors in terms of histology, age at diagnosis, anatomical site and prognosis. Here we describe the epidemiology of GCT on the basis of data from European population-based cancer registries (CRs) analysed in the framework of the EUROCARE (European Cancer Registrybased study on survival and care of cancer patients) project, which has moni...
متن کاملThe Effects of Chemotherapy on Metastatic Testicular Germ Cell Tumors
Modern chemotherapy combined with surgery can achieve complete cure in over 90% of all patients with malignant testicular germ cell tumors. Even tumors that have already metastasized at the time of orchidectomy are curable by platinum-based multidrug treatment. Chemotherapy related changes can be seen in the residual tumor tissue in metastatic sites. In patients fully responding to chemotherapy...
