- Abstract
Third, a small entity of germ cell tumors harbors treatment-resistant cell clones, which need to be identified as early as possible and characterized on a molecular level to identify the underlying mechanisms of therapy-resistance. This demands precautions in the treatment recommendations focusing on long-term rather than short-term toxicity in this young patients' population and alternatives to the cisplatin-based therapy are warranted. Lastly, all this implies that physicians treating patients with germ cell tumors need to be counseled, second opinion before treatment should be standard and advanced metastatic patients need to be treated in highly specialized centers.
