The results of the treatment of 21 patients with testicle tumors of various histological structure, stages III and IV, are presented. The combination of bleomycetin (bleomycin A5), an antitumor antibiotic made in the USSR, with vinblastine and platinum derivatives was used. The antitumor effect was observed in 63 per cent of patients, including 21 per cent of patients with complete regression of tumors. The periods of complete and partial remission were 3--13 and 1--9 months, respectively. The combination is sufficiently effective and may be recommended for the treatment of patients with disseminated malignant tumors of the testicle.
