Abstract
40 patients with disseminated testicular non-seminoma were treated with cis-diammine-dichloro-platinum, vinblastine, and bleomycin. Complete remission was achieved in 24 (60%) patients and partial remission in 11 (28%). 22 of the 24 complete responders, who have been followed-up for a median of 11 months, have been tumour-free for 5--30 months. There were 3 drug-related deaths. This regimen is the most effective remission-induction treatment available for disseminated testicular non-seminoma. Patients should be treated in centres experienced in the specialised management of this potentia-ly curable disease.Entities:
