Lymphadenectomy and chemotherapy were carried out on 18 patients with grossly disseminated nonseminomatous testicular cancer. Of the 14 patients so far evaluable, remission was obtained in 13 (92%), complete remission in 7 (50%). Results suggest that even when the disease is advanced, lymphadenectomy is of diagnostic, therapeutic, and palliative value.
