    Abstract:
    The outcome of clinical therapy of adult nonseminomatous testis tumor presenting with negative human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) at our hospital is reported. Of 45 nonseminoma, 28 cases showed negative hCG and they had no chorionic element. Embryonal carcinoma was found in 14 cases (50%), teratoma in 5 cases (17.9%), and teratomatous mixed tumor in 9 cases (32.1%). The 5 year actuarial survivals were 94% for stage I disease, 40% for stage II and 16.6% for stage III. Prophylactic irradiation was given to the patient with stage I disease and no relapse occurred in the irradiated area, but later, neoplasms had spread by vascular dissemination in 3 cases (17.6%). In the treatment of stage II disease, radiotherapy has proved unsatisfactory and retroperitoneal lymph nodes dissection was a choice of modality. Of 11 patients with lung metastasis including vascular dissemination from stage II and III disease, 3 cases (27.3%) were cured by localized radiotherapy and chemotherapy of the pre-VAB regimen era.
