[Treatment of testicular tumors].

Abstract

182 patients with testicular tumors were treated since 1960. The best results from treatment of nonseminomatous germinative testicular tumors were obtained according to the following regimen: Stage A: (Tumor limited to the testis without invasion of the cord): Radical orchiectomy, lymphadenectomy, immune stimulation. Stage B1 (Invasion of the cord but less than 6 positive retroperitoneal lymph nodes): Additional triple chemotherapy with Actinomycin D, Chlorambucil and Methotrexate for 2 years. Stage B2 (More than 6 positive retroperitoneal lymph nodes): Additional radiotherapy with 4500 rads. Stage C (Distant metastases): Radical orchiectomy, retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy, immune stimulation, triple drug chemotherapy for 2 years with Actinomycin D, Methotrexate and Vincristine.
