[Problems in the management of testicular cancer].
Within the last decade, progress in the management of testicular cancer has been remarkable. It has become a well-known fact that chemotherapy with or without excision of residual tumors can cure far-advanced disease. There are, as yet, unsolved problems such as the management of stage I disease, role of surgery in the treatment of stage III non-seminomatous testicular cancer and testicular damages by chemotherapy and so on. These problems will be discussed in this paper.
