Abstract
The experience of CRC in the treatment of advanced germ cell tumors is reported. The analysis of factors influencing prognosis and treatment tactics is carried out. Contemporary conception of advanced germ cell tumors treatment implies the initial use of platinum based chemotherapy. After completion of chemotherapy, surgical removal of residual tumor (retroperitoneal and mediastinal lymph nodes, lung and liver metastases) carries diagnostic and curative means. Such approach allows curing 50-90% of patients depending on prognostic factors. Results of induction chemotherapy for relapses of germ cell tumors are presented separately. Treatment of this condition comprises chemotherapy with inclusion of ifosfamid or taxanes with following cytoreductive surgery. This modality allows long term remission in the fourth of patients with relapse of germ cell tumors.
