[Experiences and results of retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy in teratoid testicular tumors].
Examinations of 69 patients with teratoid tumours of the testicles who underwent the expanded operative and cytostatic treatment usual at present emphasize that the prognosis apart from the histological structure decisively depends on the stage of tumour at the beginning of the treatment. Nothing has changed in this respect. Under the treatment mentioned of the carriers  of metastasized tumours 28% survival who had no chance before this. Compared with that the survival rate of patients free from  metastases is 81%. A differentiation between regional metastases, progressed subdiaphragmatic metastases and metastases distant from the primary tumour may contribute to the prognostic judgment.
