    Abstract

    Germ cell tumours such as testicular cancer typically affect adolescent and young adult males. Since the introduction of cisplatin, outcomes for patients with advanced germ cell tumours have improved with cure rates exceeding 80% overall. However, outcomes are considerably worse for patients with intermediate or poor prognostic features with cure rates of only 79% and 48%, respectively.
