Extragonadal germ cell tumor : A clinical study
1995
Among 18 patients with primary extragonadal germ cell tumors (8 seminoma and 10 non- seminoma), the disease involved the mediastinum (7), the retroperitoneum (8), multiple lymph nodal sites (2) and the pinealis gland (1). Seventeen patients received cisplatin-based chemotherapy as part of the initial treatment. Fifteen patients (83%) achieved complete remission (6 seminoma and 9 non-seminoma) : 12 of them are relapse-free after a median follow-up of 82 months (range 13-138). Five-year overall survival was 65%. No statistically significant survival difference was found between mediastinal and retroperitoneal tumors or patients with seminoma and non-seminoma.
