[Cytostatic therapy of tumors under conditions of partial synchronisation with particular reference to malignant tumors of the testicle (author's transl)].

Cytostatic therapy under conditions of "partial synchronisation" is reported. 12 patients with extensive metastases of malignant testicular tumors and 5 other patients with other rapidly growing metastasizing tumors were treated. They had all previously undergone extensive operation, irradiation and some also treatment with cytostatics. Vincristine/ifosfamide and bleomycin/ifosfamide were given as stosstherapy and trofosfamid (Ixoten) as maintenance therapy. There was complete remission of the lung metastases in 8 of the metastasizing testicular tumors. Retroperitoneal and supraclavicular metastases became operable. In 2 patients there was a partial remission lasting 4-6 months. Complete remission could be obtained in the other patients.
