What the film says

Read the transcript

This trial is for patients aged three through 29 with newly diagnosed central nervous system germinoma meeting tumor-marker and imaging criteria. Localized and metastatic disease are included.

The idea: intravenous carboplatin and etoposide attack dividing cancer cells, followed by radiation. The radiation field and dose depend on tumor location, spread, and response. Selected complete responders receive reduced ventricular radiation plus a tumor boost. Second-look surgery may guide treatment. Researchers track disease control and effects.

This phase 2 study plans 240 patients. Mohamed Abdelbaki leads for Children's Oncology Group; 95 US sites are recruiting.
