59. Testicular Cancer - Part 2

Previously, on Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind, Josh and Michael discussed the common systemic therapies available for early and advanced testicular cancer: single-dose carboplatin and bleomycin + etoposide + cisplatin (BEP). However, like the beginning of any good story, this is just the beginning. All the knowledge of chemotherapy in the world is nothing without knowing how to apply it. In this episode, our hosts attempt to tackle this very topic, dissecting the when, where and why of the treatment of testicular cancer.
