[Chemo- and radiotherapy of germ cell testicular cancer in the literature].
The study reviews the incidence, histologic types and prognostic factors of testicular cancer. The measurement of tumor-marker levels before castration determine the further activity regarding the data of imagings. The authors explain the treatment of seminoma and non-seminoma by stages. Carboplatin monotherapy is equivalent to the irradiation in early seminoma cases. Nowadays applied second and third line chemotherapies are reviewed. It is necessary to take into consideration not only the remission rate but also the late toxicity during the complex treatment of testicular germ cell cancer.
