This article deals with observations of the clinical behavior of metastatic germ cell cancers of testicular origin. Therefore, when we speak of biology of metastases, we refer to that seen by the clinician as opposed to the laboratory scientist. First, we will review our experience with chemotherapy

Testicular germ-cell tumors are relatively rare in childhood and adolescence, accounting for only 3.9% of all neoplasms. However, they have become a model for curable cancer. Furthermore, most of them have accurate serum markers [beta-human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein], which provid
