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
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the efficacy of floxuridine (FUDR)-containing regimens in the treatment of gestational trophoblastic tumor (GTT).
METHODS
Seventy-four patients with GTT, 47 with invasive mole and 27 with choriocarcinoma were treated with FUDR-containing regimens. Clinical staging of the disease
