Determining stage and anticipating prognosis are the two crucial steps after the diagnosis of a germ-cell cancer that both guide subsequent treatment decisions. This review focuses on metastatic disease, which means germ-cell cancers beyond stage I limited to the testis. In the past, major centers developed separate staging and prognostic classifications for metastatic germ-cell cancer, which heavily impaired communication and comparisons across clinical trials. More recently, the classification system of the International Germ-Cell Cancer Collaborative Group (IGCCCG) has found acceptance worldwide and is currently being updated.
