e15526 Background: Chemotherapy- refractory or resistant GCTs, so called ‘difficult-to-treat’ GCTs would remain continuously disease-free with salvage chemotherapy or surgery. The optimal salvage chemotherapy remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of ‘sequential’ chemotherapy for advanced testicular cancer. Methods: Salvage chemotherapy was required in 129 patients out of 233 advanced GCTs treated at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine from June, 1998 to December, 2011. Clinical outcomes were retrospectively assessed. Results: Median age was 31 year-old (range:17-65y.o.). Non-seminoma was in 111 cases (86.0%). IGCCC showed good in 37 cases (28.9%), intermediate 33 (25.6%), poor 47 (36.4%), and unknown 12 (9.1%). As the 2nd line therapy, VIP/VeIP and TIP/N therapy were done in 43 (33.3%) and 49 cases (38.0%), respectively. With regard to the patients requiring 3rd line or more chemotherapy, 95, 67, 40, 26 cases had 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th line or more chemotherapy, respectively. TIN therapy was performed in 48 patients as 3rd line and in 24 patients as 4th line. Irinotecan-containing chemotherapy was done in 24 and 36 cased as 2nd +3rd line therapy and 4th line or more, respectively. Gemcitabine-containing therapy was done in 33 cases with 3rdline or more chemotherapy. Overall survival rate at median follow-up period was 71.0%at median follow-up of 48m. Overall survival stratified by IGCCC was shown in the figure. There was no significant difference between any two groups. Clinical outcomes showed no evidence of disease (NED) was obtained in 86.1% with second line therapy. Noteworthy mentioned, about 40% patients had NED even in the 4thline or more chemotherapy group. Conclusions: Relatively good prognosis was obtained in the patients with salvage chemotherapy at Japanese high volume center. Sequential continuous chemotherapy would be very important to manage ‘difficult-to-treat’ advanced germ cell tumors.

Tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) and choriocarcinoma syndrome (CS) are severe complications of chemotherapy for testicular cancer. They are rare, but can be life-threatening. A 37-year-old man complaining of persisting cough was referred to our hospital. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed huge tumours that occupied the peritoneal cavity, with multiple lung, liver, and para-aortic metastases. Although there was no abnormal finding in the testes, serum testicular tumor markers showed marked elevation. A CT-guided biopsy for the peritoneal tumours revealed extragonadal germ cell tumour (GCT), including yolk sac tumour and choriocarcinoma. Chemotherapy with bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP) was started after admission. The morning after the beginning of BEP, the patient developed hemorrhagic shock, in addition to acute pulmonary and renal failure, because of TLS and massive hemorrhage at bilateral lung metastases. He was intubated and resuscitated. Despite appropriate therapy, his renal function did not recover and hemodialysis was started. The patient eventually died of severe respiratory distress syndrome and infection. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of TLS and CS as complications of hemorrhage at the lung metastases of advanced testicular cancer leading to death.
