A 44-year-old man received high-dose chemotherapy with carboplatin, etoposide and cyclophosphamide followed by autologous peripheral-blood stem-cell transplantation for treatment of refractory nonseminomatous testicular cancer (seminoma plus choriocarcinoma). The patient developed fever, watery
CMV infection is uncommon in our practice except kidney transplantation. We report a case of cytomegalovirus enterocolitis during standard chemotherapy for testicular cancer. A 31-year-old male presented to his local urologist in January, 2006 with left scrotal swelling. He was diagnosed as left
Acute/subacute side effects were evaluated in 39 testicular cancer patients before infra-diaphragmatic radiotherapy, twice during therapy and 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment discontinuation. The evaluation was primarily based on questionnaires filled in by the patients. At the end of
BACKGROUND
The objective of the study was to investigate the activity of sunitinib in a cell line model and subsequently in patients with cisplatin-refractory or multiply relapsed germ cell tumors (GCT).
METHODS
The effect of sunitinib on cell proliferation in cisplatin-sensitive and
OBJECTIVE
This trial evaluated the toxicity and efficacy of high-dose carboplatin, etoposide, and ifosfamide followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation in patients with refractory or relapsed germ cell cancer.
METHODS
Between August 1989 and September 1992, 74 patients with refractory or
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility and the toxicity of sequential, dose-intensified chemotherapy combined with paclitaxel plus peripheral blood-derived hematopoietic stem-cell support (PBSC) for patients with untreated metastatic germ cell tumors (GCTs) who have poor International Germ Cell
Phase II study of cis-diaminedichloroplatinum(II) (CIS-DDP) administered intravenously was performed in 77 patients with urologic malignancies for the evaluation of clinical responses and adverse effects. The eligibility of the patients and evaluation of response were carried out according to the
Testicular cancer is rare, representing only 1 % of malignant tumors, but the most common cancer in young men, 15 to 35 years. Adjuvant radiotherapy after orchidectomy in testicular seminoma stage I, reduces risk of relapse. It aims to eradicate micro-metastatic disease in lymph drainage
Testicular carcinoid is a rare disease accounting for less than 1% of all testicular neoplasms. It rarely manifests symptoms of carcinoid syndrome. Recent reports have noted that only 1.1-3.1% of testicular carcinoid tumors are complicated by carcinoid syndrome. In general, large tumor size and the
We report our experience of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) in a 54-year-old male patient after high orchiectomy for testicular cancer. Four days after the surgery, he began to have diarrhea, high fever, and diffuse erythroderma followed by severe hypotension. There were no signs of postsurgical wound
Dermatologists may also encounter patients presenting with skin lesions that reflect an underlying endocrine disorder not commonly seen in daily practice. Some of these endocrine disorders include glucagonoma, neurofibromatosis type 1, McCune-Albright syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia, the
Carcinoid tumors derived from neuroendocrine cells can release serotonin and other vasoactive substances into the systemic circulation, resulting in carcinoid syndrome. Testicular carcinoid, a rare disease accounting for less than 1% of all testicular neoplasms, rarely manifests symptoms of
Docetaxel is a new antimicrotubule agent that has been shown to be active against a variety of solid tumors. Ifosfamide is an alkylating drug that has demonstrated activity against non-small cell lung cancer, testicular cancer, breast cancer, and soft tissue sarcoma. This phase I study of the
A co-operative phase II study of the semisynthetic podophyllotoxin derivative Etoposide (VP-16) was undertaken in patients with genitourinary tumors. A total of 83 out of 115 patients entered into the study were evaluable for response. Antitumor effects were evaluated according to "Standards for the
OBJECTIVE
Initial cisplatin (CIS) combination chemotherapy will cure 70% of patients with disseminated testicular cancer. This phase II clinical trial evaluated the combination of CIS plus epirubicin (CIS-EPI) in patients with metastatic germ cell tumors (GCT) not amenable to cure with standard
