Abstract
- A study examines the efficacy of high-dose chemotherapy and rescue of the hematopoietic system of infusion of peripheral-blood stem cells for cisplatin-resistant, progressively growing testicular cancer. Findings suggest that the treatment is successful even when used as third-line or later therapy or in patients with platinum-refractory disease.
