(a) Median serum levels of AFP at various points of time during treatment of all GCT patients with systemic disease (>CS1). ULN: upper limit of norm. Note decrease of levels during the course of treatment (for explanations of box plot details see legend to Figure 1). (b) Median serum levels of bHCG at various points of time during treatment of all GCT patients with systemic disease (>CS1). (c) Median serum levels of AFP at various points of time during treatment of nonseminoma patients with systemic disease (>CS1). (d) Median serum levels of bHCG at various points of time during treatment of nonseminoma patients with systemic disease (>CS1).
