Abstract

85 patients with resected stage II non-seminomatous testicular cancer were treated with adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Only one patient developed a relapse 14 months after discontinuation of adjuvant chemotherapy, which was successfully treated with salvage chemotherapy. One patient developed a contralateral testicular tumor 6 years after primary therapy. After a median observation time of 6 years (range 2 months to 13 years) 84 patients are alive without evidence of testicular cancer; one died from an unrelated cause. In conclusion, adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy for resected stage Il nonseminomatous testicular cancer almost always prevents relapse.
