A review of 92 patients with Stage III nonseminomatous tumors treated at Roswell Park Memorial Institute between 1970-1979 was undertaken to verify changes in concepts as related to multiple agent chemotherapy and cytoreductive surgery. Each patient had a minimal follow-up of 18 months. Fifty-three patients were seen before 1975. Eighteen had metastasis to the lungs only. These were treated with a variety of single chemotherapeutic agents and cytoreductive surgery. The survival of this group was 38%. Among 35 patients with lung and visceral involvement seen at the same time, only one patient is alive. Thirty-nine patients were seen after 1975 and treated with multi-drug chemotherapy and cytoreductive surgery. The current survival rate of 23 patients with lung metastasis only is 69%. Among 16 patients with lung and visceral involvement, the present survival rate is 31%. This report confirms the effectiveness of multi-drug therapy in conjunction with cytoreductive surgery in the treatment of disseminated testicular tumors.
