title: Current management of prepubertal yolk sac tumors of the testis.
abstract: Over the last 3 decades, the management of pediatric yolk sac tumors of the testis has changed significantly. These changes reflect improvement in the treatment of testicular tumors in adults and children, such as the advent of platinum-based chemotherapy regimens. They also reflect increased understanding of the biology and natural history of prepubertal yolk sac tumors of the testis as a unique disease entity.
