Abstract

Recent results with the therapeutic strategy for malignant testicular tumors are presented. Nearly 80% of these tumors can be cured by the coordinated therapeutic efforts of a surgeon and medical oncologist. Cis-platinum chemotherapy regimens are widely used and intensive chemotherapy followed by autologous bone marrow transplantation should enable to cure poor prognosis forms in the near future.
