Abstract
On May 1990, we began a treatment protocol for testicular stage I nonseminomatous cancer, with one chemotherapy cycle consisting of a cisplatin based combination of drugs. Until July 1996 we had admitted 18 patients, presenting five of them embryonal carcinoma and three yolk sac tumors. So far, with a median follow-up of 46.9 months, we had not relapses. 11 patients have normal long term semen analysis, with two achieving pregnancy. We believe this is acceptable alternative for treating stage I nonseminomatous cancer with scarce drugs adverse reactions. The convenience of selecting patients previous admittance, is discussed.Entities:
