Treatment Options for Recurrent Testicular Cancer

Treatment of recurrent testicular cancer may include the following:

• Combination chemotherapy.
• High-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant.
• Surgery to remove cancer that has either:
  • come back more than 2 years after complete remission; or
  • come back in only one place and does not respond to chemotherapy.
• A clinical trial of a new therapy.

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with recurrent malignant testicular germ cell tumor. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
