State-of-the-art approach in selective curable tumors: germ cell tumors.

This review covers the management of patients once they have been diagnosed with a germ cell tumor. We take note of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) guidelines [1, 2] and European Germ Cell Cancer Consensus Group report [3] and expand on controversial areas where more than one management option exists. Although we will only discuss testicular germ cell tumors, the same principles of management apply to extragonadal and ovarian germ cell tumors.
