Germ Cell Tumor
Conditions
Brief summary
Intensified chemotherapy is an effective treatment in 30-70% of patients with refractory germ cell tumor. Since most cases are diagnosed before the age of 40, survivors can expect to live another 30 to 50 years after being successfully treated. Long-term side effects and physical and emotional consequences can therefore have a significant impact on daily life. To date, no data of this type is available in France. This study will help clinicians better understand the long-term consequences for relapsed patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy.
