[Testicular germinal tumors. Current therapeutic principles].
The cure rate for germinal tumors of the testes are now very high, greater than 80%, all stages and histological types taken as a whole. This calls for a revision of therapeutic indications, in light of these results and modern staging methods. In localized stages, or tumors associated with a good prognosis, therapeutic de-escalation is in progress, in order to limit the side effects. In invasive forms or forms associated with a poor prognosis, the use of more aggressive methods, such as high dose chemotherapy, should further improve prognosis.
