title: [Role of the excision of thoracic lesions in the treatment of metastatic malignant germinal tumors of the testis].
abstract: Among 112 cases of non-seminomatous testicular tumours treated from 1974 to 1978, there were 13 thoracotomies for the excision of thoracic lesions: in 4 cases for recurrence, in 9 for incomplete remission. In 8 cases, one of the 4 recurrences and 7 of the 9 Stages III, a cure was obtained. In all cases thoracic surgery was combined with chemotherapy including bleomycin and cis platinum and in some cases lombo-aortic lymph node dissection. The hope of cure at metastatic stages of non-seminomatous testicular tumours is 50%.
