The value of sequential alternating chemotherapy was analyzed retrospectively in 180 patients with disseminated, non-seminomatous testicular cancer. Response rates of adriamycin/cisplatin--(combination A) and bleomycin/vinblastine (combination B)--combination chemotherapy were evaluated separately with respect to tumor histology and tumor stages. Tumor response was achieved in 151 of 180 patients (84%) who were evaluable for adriamycin/cisplatin chemotherapy. Out of those, 91 of 117 patients (78%) pretreated with combination B and 60 of 63 patients (95%) without prior chemotherapy responded. Irrespective of pretreatment tumor response was observed in 131 of 157 patients (84%) evaluable for treatment with bleomycin/vinblastine. Resistance to combination A was 2.5 fold higher in embryonal carcinomas (class II of Dixon and Moore) than in choriocarcinomas (class V). Bleomycin/vinblastine-therapy failed more frequently in choriocarcinomas as compared to other histological categories (22% vs. 14%). This report also includes an analysis of treatment failures in different tumor stages. Both regimens were more frequently ineffective in tumor stages with a large tumor burden (stages II C and IV D). Patterns of cross-resistance were evaluated for both regimens. Response to adriamycin/cisplatin occurred in 18/26 patients (69%), when combination B had failed, and response to bleomycin/vinblastine was achieved in 14/24 patients (58%) when adriamycin/cisplatin had failed. In patients not responding to either regimen the treatment failure was already recognized after the first chemotherapeutic course in 93% of these cases.

D001761 Bleomycin A complex of related glycopeptide antibiotics from Streptomyces verticillus consisting of bleomycin A2 and B2. It inhibits DNA metabolism and is used as an antineoplastic, especially for solid tumors.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
