Intensive chemotherapy as salvage treatment for solid tumors: focus on germ cell cancer

Show other versions (1)

Germ cell tumors present contrasting biological and molecular features compared to many solid tumors, which may partially explain their unusual sensitivity to chemotherapy. Reduced DNA repair capacity and enhanced induction of apoptosis appear to be key factors in the sensitivity of germ cell tumors...
