    Journal: Radiologe; 1981 Sep; 21(9):421-30. PubMed ID: 6170087.
    Abstract:
    Advanced malignant testicular tumors can be treated very successfully by chemotherapy. The most effective 3 or 4-drug combinations contain CisPlatin, Vinblastine, Bleomycin, Adriamycin, Cyclophosphamide, Ifosfamide and Vepesid. Complete remissions of 60% can be obtained; depending on histology, frequency of metastases, and former radiation therapy. Resection of residual pulmonary or retroperitoneal metastases render an additional 10-20% of the patients free of tumor. Side effects following chemotherapy should not be neglected: Depression of bone marrow, severe vomiting, alopecia, and azoospermia.
