RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Colony-stimulating factors, such as pegfilgrastim, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Giving combination chemotherapy together with pegfilgrastim may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving combination chemotherapy together with pegfilgrastim works in treating men with metastatic germ cell tumors.

OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized, pilot study.
Patients receive etoposide IV on days 1-3, cisplatin IV on days 1 and 2, and bleomycin IV over 2 hours on days 2, 6, and 10. Patients also receive pegfilgrastim subcutaneously on day 4. Treatment repeats every 14 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 2 years.
