Is there an intermediate-risk non-seminoma? long-term treatment results from a single center.

Purpose: We retrospectively assessed the treatment results of patients with testicular non-seminoma to evaluate possible predictive and prognostic factors.

Methods: 189 patients with testicular non-seminoma treated between 2000 and 2012 were retrospectively evaluated. Treatment was based on orchiectomy plus chemotherapy (bleomycin/etoposide/cisplatin and vinblastine/ifosfamide/ cisplatin); retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy was only performed for residual disease after chemotherapy.
