Abstract
We tried a combination chemotherapy with cisplatin (CDDP) and carboplatin (CBDCA) (CDDP/CBDCA regimen) as salvage therapy for 2 cases with recurrent or refractory Germ Cell Tumor (GCT). Case 1 was a 29-year-old man with 2nd relapsed embryonal carcinoma and seminoma originating from testis. Case 2 was a 23-year-old man with primary refractory embryonal carcinoma and yolk sac tumor originating from mediastinum. CDDP and CBDCA were administered at the dose of 120 mg/m2 and 350 mg/m2 on day 1, and vinblastin was administered at the dose of 10 mg/body on day 2. In one of two cases, a complete response was obtained. Non-hematologic toxicity of CDDP/CBDCA regimen was tolerable. It is suggested that this combination chemotherapy is useful for GCT recurrence.
