Planners expect learners to:

1. Manage, with curative intent, patients with recurrent CNS germ cell tumors.

2. Consider the risks versus benefits of differing curative treatment strategies (re-irradiation versus marrow-ablative chemotherapy) for patients with recurrent CNS germinoma.

3. Incorporate new targeted therapies, where appropriate, into the management of patients with recurrent CNS germ cell tumors.
