Forty-four patients with nonseminomatous germ cell tumors with "poor prognostic features" were entered on the VAB-5 regimen and 38 are evaluable. VAB-5 represents an intensified version of the VAB-4 protocol. Poor prognostic features were considered to be bulky metastases (>5 cm in diameter), palpab

The allocation of patients with advanced germ cell tumors (GCT) to different treatment programs based on clinical characteristics is standard in the design of clinical trials today. Studies have shown that substantial differences exist between entry criteria and that these differences could influenc
## Abstract We have treated 13 children with primary intracranial germ cell tumors with the combination of vinblastine, bleomycin, cisplatin, and etoposide, the soβcalled VBPE regimen in the past seven years at one institution. The clinical diagnosis of these children were: three germinomas, seven
## Background: The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable model to identify clinical stage i nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (nsgcts) associated with low risk or high risk for occult retroperitoneal metastasis, so that the model could be used to customize the therapeutic approach for pati
