Despite the increasing use of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, few studies have focused on the activity and toxicity of the different clinically used dosages of GM-CSF. Forty-four patients with "poor-risk" (advanced
32-year-old man was seen in a clinic because of prolonged cough and slight-fever. Chest X-ray showed multiple pulmonary nodules, and multiple lung and mediastinal lymph node metastases from right testicular tumor was suspected by positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT) scan. He was diagnosed with
A 36-year-old man referred to our hospital with the chief complaint of painful left inguinal mass and fever. He had undergone left orchiopexy for undescended testis at 10 years of age. With the suspicion of an incarceration of inguinal hernia, an operation was performed. However, there was no hernia
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
A combination regimen consisting of cisplatin, bleomycin, and vinblastine was evaluated in 86 patients with metastatic testicular tumors. Prior therapy included surgical resection of primary tumor (84 patients), radiotheapy (21 patients), chemotherapy (33 patients). Thirteen patients received prior
Two cycles of bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP) were evaluated as adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with pathological stage II non-seminomatous germ cell tumours. Between 1985 and 1995, 86 patients with pathological stage II non-seminomatous testicular cancer were treated with two cycles of
Seventy-eight patients with disseminated testicular cancer were entered on a random prospective study evaluating three separate remission induction arms. Therapy with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (20 mg/M2 for five consecutive days every three weeks for 3-4 courses) and bleomycin (30 units
Sixteen patients with metastatic nonseminomatous testicular cancer refractory to cisplatinum combination chemotherapy, were treated with epirubicin 100-120 mg/m2 q d 22. One partial remission lasting 6 months was achieved. Two additional patients had stabilisation of disease for 3 and 4 months.
Since 1985 44 consecutive patients with testicular cancer have been treated with a modified BEP regimen. 70% had metastatic disease and 30% received adjuvant therapy. After mean follow-up of 26 (8-56) months, 91% of patients are alive and all are in remission. Chemotherapy-related side effects were
A rare case of CA19-9-producing testicular tumor is reported. A 37-year-old male who had complained of high fever and right scrotal swelling was referred to our department. Ultrasonography and computed tomography demonstrated a right testicular tumor with right lung metastasis and aortocaval lymph
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
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the role of two different approaches to perform laparoscopic RPLND: transperitoneal laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (TL-RPLND) and extraperitoneal laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (EL-RPLND).
METHODS
Between February 2003 and April 2013, 39
A recent report from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center has indicated that patients with resected Stage IIB (N-2B and N-3) testicular cancer are at significant risk for relapse. Of patients with resected Stage IIB disease (N-2B, 19%; N-3, 54%), 34% relapsed after having undergone relatively
A 54-year-old man received combination chemotherapy with nedaplatin and irinotecan as salvage chemotherapy for refractory non-seminomatous testicular cancer. The patient developed abdominal pain and high fever on Day 21 after the initiation of chemotherapy. Computed tomography revealed thickening of
