摘要
Primary mediastinal nonseminomatous germ cell tumors represent a rare but important malignancy that occurs in otherwise young and healthy patients. Treatment is challenging and involves cisplatin-based chemotherapy followed by surgery to remove residual disease. Avoiding bleomycin-containing chemotherapy in the treatment of primary mediastinal nonseminomatous germ cell tumors is important. Prechemotherapy and postchemotherapy pathology as well as postoperative serum tumor markers are independent predictors of long-term survival. © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
