High-dose chemotherapy in poor-risk germ-cell tumors ONCOLOGY-NEW YORK Srinivas, S. 2000; 14 (10): 1419-1423

Abstract

Testicular cancer is a highly curable cancer. However, 30% of patients are refractory to standard therapy and will need additional therapy. This article focuses on the use of high-dose chemotherapy in germ-cell tumors. High-dose chemotherapy use is discussed both in the refractory setting and as either first-salvage or first-line therapy. Various criteria for risk assessment are also discussed.
