Testicular Cancer clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Testicular cancer is a disease where cancer cells form in the tissues of one or both testicles. UCSF is studying how well active surveillance works in monitoring patients with germ cell tumors. Some patients may also receive treatments like Bleomycin, Etoposide, Carboplatin, or Cisplatin.

Showing trials for

  • Active Surveillance, Bleomycin, Etoposide, Carboplatin or Cisplatin in Treating Pediatric and Adult Patients With Germ Cell Tumors

    open to all eligible people

    This phase III trial studies how well active surveillance help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors for recurrence after their tumor is removed. When the germ cell tumor has spread outside of the organ in which it developed, it is considered metastatic. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. The trial studies whether carboplatin or cisplatin is the preferred chemotherapy to use in treating metastatic standard risk germ cell tumors.
