title: Disseminated testicular cancer: current chemotherapy strategies.
abstract: Disseminated testis cancer is a landmark adult solid tumor because of its high curability. In the last decade and a half, a number of clinical trials have been completed or are ongoing. In addition, long-term follow-up of some earlier trials is now available. This report summarizes the current treatment approaches, paying particular attention to the role of cisplatin.
