After their first surgery, patients often have a procedure called second look reassessment surgery. This surgery allows doctors to look inside your body and check for signs of cancer. The purpose of this study is to see how well it works to give HIPEC during the second look surgery. HIPEC is a type of chemotherapy inserted directly into your abdomen at the time of surgery. We want to monitor any effects that this has on your health.

A germ cell tumor is a type of cancer found in the ovaries for females or the testes for males. This tumor may also be found in the pelvis along the tailbone, chest, abdomen, and other structures of the body. Chemotherapy is the medicine used to fight cancer. We want to find out if giving children with germ cell tumors chemotherapy on a faster schedule is effective.

The main goal of this study is to find out if there is a difference in hearing loss between cancer patients who get the treatment cisplatin and those who get the treatment carboplatin. We want to know how hearing loss affects patients in their daily lives. To find out, we will make a questionnaire that asks about your own experiences with hearing loss or hearing problems. We are looking for volunteers with germ cell tumors who have been treated with either cisplatin or carboplatin.
