Abstract
This chapter reviews a pivotal, single-armed observational study of consecutive patients with metastatic testicular germ cell tumor treated with a combination of bleomycin, vinblastine, and cisplatin. This study established that cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy resulted in a much better prognosis in patients with metastatic testicular cancer than historically observed with any other treatment and also resulted in high response rates.
