A contribution to the treatment of non-seminomatous testicular tumours.

Experiences obtained in the treatment of non-seminomas in 86 men are evaluated. In 71 patients retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy was performed, in 15 also nephrectomy; in 84 men chemotherapy was used. The initial combination consisted of Vincristin, Bleomycin and cis-platin, the maintenance chemotherapy of Vincristin, Methotrexate and Leukeran (chlorambucil). Maintenance chemotherapy was also used in clinical stage N 0 M 0 and in 31 men at this stage no relapse occurred.
