Brief Summary:
This phase III trial studies how well active surveillance help doctors to monitor subjects with low risk germ cell tumors for recurrence after their tumor is removed. When the germ cell tumors has spread outside of the organ in which it developed, it is considered metastatic. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, carboplatin, etoposide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. The trial studies whether carboplatin or cisplatin is the preferred chemotherapy to use in treating metastatic standard risk germ cell tumors.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival [ Time Frame: Two years post enrollment ]
    The time from study entry to the date of death, or date of last contact and ascertained as alive, whichever comes first.

  2. Event-free survival [ Time Frame: Two years post enrollment ]
    The time from study entry to the date of death, date of disease progression or recurrence, date of second malignant neoplasm or date of last contact and ascertained as alive, whichever comes first.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of participants with hearing loss [ Time Frame: 8 weeks after the last dose of platin therapy ]
    The hearing loss is evaluated according to the International Society of Pediatric Oncology criteria.

  2. Number of participants by understanding score category in the Adolescents and Young Adults-Hearing Screen [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
    Understanding score will be rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 = completely incorrect to 4 = completely correct.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Event-free survival (EFS) for participants with and without tumor marker decline [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
    Tumor marker decline is coded as yes versus no. The hazard ratio for participants with and without tumor marker decline will be presented. Patients who receive chemotherapy will be analyzed separately than patients in the low risk stratum.

  2. Mean self-reported peripheral neuropathy score [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]
    Mean self-reported neuropathy score will be compared for the two treatment regimens.
