Metastatic Non-Seminomatous Testis Tumors: Morbidity of Treatment

Abstract
Patients (28) with metastatic non-seminomatous testis tumors were treated with a regimen of combined retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy and multiple drug chemotherapy [vinblastine sulfate, bleomycin and actinomycin D]. The morbidity of this plan of management was outlined with a followup of 3 to 8 yr. Survival for all patients with stage B disease is 100% and with stage C disease is 58% (8 of 14 patients).
