Retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy as adjunctive therapy in selected cases of advanced testicular carcinoma
Abstract
The findings in 10 patients with advanced non-seminomatous testicular malignant disease in whom either complete remission or reduction in clinical stage was achieved with chemotherapy and later retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy are presented. The procedure in these selected instances allowed for a more accurate assessment of the disease status. The operative findings served as an accurate guide to determine the need for further drug therapy.
