摘要
Testicular cancer has been a model for a curable malignancy. The existence of an array of potential new therapies is the result of a prodigious effort in the researching and defining of the molecular components of the cancer phenotype and the subsequent rational design of agents to target candidate pathways. A better understanding of the molecular biology of cancer may also aid in guiding the most appropriate use of existing therapies, such as conventional chemotherapy.
