Abstract Purpose: Patients with good risk nonseminomatous germ cell tumors receive induction chemotherapy with either 4 cycles of etoposide and platinum (EPx4) or three cycles of

bleomycin, etoposide, and platinum (BEPx3). We report the histologic results at postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RPLND) after induction chemotherapy in patients treated either with EP or BEP for good risk NSGCT.
SC
Materials and Methods: PC-RPLND was performed in 579 patients following induction chemotherapy. Five-hundred five patients were treated with EPx4 and 74 patients were

treated with BEPx3 or BEPx4. Clinical and pathologic features are reported. Results: No difference in the frequency of viable residual cancer was observed between BEP and EP (5% vs 6%, respectively, P=NS). Teratoma was more prevalent in the BEP group vs. EP (57% vs. 34%, respectively, p
