Maintenance Oral Etoposide After High-Dose Chemotherapy (HDCT) for Patients With Relapsed Metastatic Germ-Cell Tumors (mGCT)

Fadi Taza et al.

Summary: This study examines the outcomes of relapsed non-seminomatous germ cell tumor (NSGCT) patients who received daily oral etoposide therapy after high-dose chemotherapy and peripheral-blood stem-cell transplant (HDCT+PBSCT). It demonstrates encouraging efficacy results and supports the use of maintenance etoposide in relapsed NSGCT patients, especially those with platinum-refractory disease. These findings have led to an ongoing randomized phase II clinical trial for further investigation.

Jonathan Shamash et al.

Summary: The study reviewed 10 years of discussions by the germ cell supranetwork multidisciplinary team (SMDT) and found that the team's work has led to improved outcomes and refined treatment for patients with germ cell tumors. The large number of cases reviewed and the specialized reviews in various aspects have positively impacted patient treatment.

Current Management of Refractory Germ Cell Tumors

Omar Abughanimeh et al.

Summary: The management of refractory/relapsed GCTs is challenging, with treatments such as high-dose chemotherapy, conventional chemotherapy, and surgery being effective options. More research is needed to determine the optimal chemotherapy approach for refractory diseases. Immunotherapy is also being investigated as a potential treatment option in this setting.
