Late recurrence in 1263 men with testicular germ cell tumors

Testicular germ cell tumors are highly curable. However, 10–30% of patients have recurrence after initial treatment. The time–course of recurrence has implications for the duration of follow‐up. This study was undertaken to assess the risk and time–course of recurrence and to identify patients at higher risk of late recurrence.
