Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation
may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together
with bone marrow transplantation or peripheral stem cell transplantation works in treating
patients with relapsed germ cell cancer.
