    Abstract:
    A patient with non-seminomatous germ cell tumor of testis underwent operations for metastases in the lung and mediastinum three times, when the serum AFP level remained remarkably high despite of intensive chemotherapy, and has been disease-free for three years after the last treatment. Our experience illustrates that the salvage surgery even under high serum marker levels may provide a beneficial outcome for selected cases of chemotherapy-resistant germ cell tumors.
