Eighty-two patients with metastatic germ cell tumors (GCT) treated with two-drug therapy consisting of etoposide and cisplatin were evaluated for late relapse. Goodrisk GCT was defined using Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) criteria. Etoposide was given a t 100 mg/mz on days 1 to 5 and

BACKGROUND. β£-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) closely follow the course of germ cell tumors (GCTs) and are widely used for diagnosis, prognosis, and follow-up purposes. The objective of this study was to assess the concordance of tumor markers a
Autopsy findings are reviewed in 154 patients treated for germ cell tumors of the testis. OF the patients with apparently pure seminoma, 44% had autopsy evidence of nonseminomatous metastases. For all tumor types, the most common sites of distant metastasis were lung (89%), liver (73%), brain (31%),
