Abstract:
During the past 10 years, high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) has emerged as a feasible and curative treatment option for patients with multiply relapsed and/or refractory germ-cell tumors. Increasing experience and the results from clinical trials have helped to optimize the application of HDCT and to define its role in the salvage concepts for germ-cell tumors.
