摘要: The initial response and long-term follow-up of 74 evaluable patients who received combination chemotherapy for metastatic nonseminomatous testicular cancer are reported. Patients were treated with a protocol (VAB-3) including vinblastine, actinomycin-D, bleomycin, cis-dichlorodiammine platinum (DDP). VAB-3 alone caused complete remission (CR) in 54% (40/74) partial (PR) 26% (1974). Five less than CR to achieved following surgical excision residual mature teratoma after starting protocol, resulting an overall rate 61% (45/74). With minimum 24+ months, median 35+ months those still living, 45% (33/74) the living free evidence disease, 4% (3/74) 51% (38/74) dead. Response was examined respect performance status, histology, prior therapy, extent tumor markers, duration disease from diagnosis. No one died because toxicity VAB-3, life-threatening uncommon. Long survival is significantly associated (P 0.001) achievement CR. treatment goal cure. CR, using aggressive surgery, essential reaching this goal.
