Disseminated germ cell tumours<br />

Guidelines for treatment of disseminated<br />

germ cell tumours (both seminoma and<br />

nonseminoma) are driven by the<br />

International Germ Cell Consensus<br />

(IGCC) prognostic index. Patients with<br />

low-risk nonseminoma (56% of cases) or<br />

seminoma (90% of cases) should receive<br />

three cycles of bleomycin, etoposide and<br />

cisplatin (BEP). Cure rate is approximately<br />

90-95%. Patients with intermediate-risk<br />

disease or high-risk disease should<br />

receive four cycles of BEP, with an expected<br />

cure rate of 75% or 50% of patients<br />

respectively.<br />

Patients with nonseminoma who have normalized<br />

serum tumour markers and residual<br />

radiographic abnormalities should be<br />

considered for post-chemotherapy resection<br />

of residual disease. Teratoma (a<br />

malignant tumour that contains a variety<br />

of embryo-derived tissues, such as bone,<br />

muscle, cartilage, nerve, tooth buds) and<br />

persistent <strong>cancer</strong> are common findings in<br />

this setting. In contrast, patients with<br />

seminoma and residual masses after<br />

chemotherapy should be simply observed,<br />

as teratoma and residual <strong>cancer</strong> are not<br />

common findings in this situation.<br />

Patients with recurrent disease after<br />

chemotherapy still have the potential for<br />

cure. Salvage chemotherapy with vinblastine,<br />

ifosamide and cisplatin cures approximately<br />

25% of these patients.<br />
