Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. It is not known whether combining chemotherapy with bone marrow
transplantation is a more effective treatment for men with germ cell tumors.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy
with bone marrow transplantation in treating men with relapsed germ cell tumors.
