| Zusammenfassung: | There have been few reports of multimodal treatment such as chemotherapy and surgical resection for testicular tumors over 40 years old. In this case, a 64-year-old man with nonseminoma, pT2N2M1aS1, stage IIIb, IGCCC good prognosis completed induction chemotherapy, followed by retroperitoneal lymph node dissection and resection of lung metastases. Chemotherapy (4 courses of etoposide and cisplatin therapy) was completed without serious adverse events other than grade 4 neutropenia. Resection of the residual tumor confirmed no viable tumor cells. There was no evidence of recurrence or elevation of tumor markers in the following 6 months. Similar cases could increase with the increase of testicular tumors in the elderly |
