[Combined surgical and cytostatic therapy in patients with advanced metastatic nonseminomatous testicular cancer (author's transl)]. / Kombinierte operative und zytostatische Therapie bei Patienten mit fortgeschritten metastasierten nicht-seminomatösen Hodentumoren.

ABSTRACT

Lymphadenectomy and chemotherapy were carried out on 18 patients with grossly disseminated nonseminomatous testicular cancer. Of the 14 patients so far evaluable, remission was obtained in 13 (92%), complete remission in 7 (50%). Results suggest that even when the disease is advanced, lymphadenectomy is of diagnostic, therapeutic, and palliative value.
