    AbstractThree patients of advanced-non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (International Germ Cell Cancer Collaborative Group classification: poor risk, 2; intermediate, 1) without evidence of a second primary germ cell tumor were treated. The patients received two cycles of standard BEP (bleomycin, etopside, cisplatin) or VIP/VB (etoposide, ifosphamide, cisplatin/vinblastine, bleomycin) therapy first. All patients in this trial showed unfavorable marker response to these therapies and received four cycles of TIP subsequently. A complete remission was observed in all patients. No patient experienced life-threatening toxicity. During the 34-month observation period, all patients were alive without progression.
