Chemotherapy for metastatic seminoma in elderly patients

M E Rentinck et al. Anticancer Res. 2003 May-Jun.

Abstract

Testicular germ cell tumours are rarely diagnosed in the elderly. In view of the high cure rate of these tumours, even in elderly patients treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy should be considered. In this report we describe two older patients with metastatic testicular seminoma. Both were treated with chemotherapy with curative intention. Described are the problems related to treatment with chemotherapy in these elderly.
