Eur Urol. 1990;18(3):234-6. doi: 10.1159/000463917.

Abstract

We report a case of nonseminomatous testicular tumor with lymph node involvement and multiple lung and liver metastases. The patient was considered to have a poor prognosis. He received systemic chemotherapy and cytoreductive surgery. Postoperatively a residual metastatic tumor in the liver was treated by intrahepatic arterial cisplatinum-diaminedichloride infusion. Follow-up observation has revealed no evidence of recurrence for 30 months since the last treatment.
