What is the Prognosis for Patients with Germ Cell Tumors?
The prognosis for patients with germ cell tumors varies based on factors such as the tumor type, stage at diagnosis, and response to treatment. Generally, seminomas have a favorable prognosis with high cure rates, especially when detected early. Non-seminomas can be more challenging to treat but still have a good prognosis with appropriate therapy. Regular follow-up and monitoring are essential to detect any recurrence or complications early.
