Doses of doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide were reduced midstudy because of nonhematologic toxicity. Four patients (6%) died as a result of toxicity. Four-year event-free survival, relapse-free survival, and overall survival rates were 67.7% (95% CI, 55.9% to 79.4%), 72.9% (95% CI, 61.5% to 84.4%), and 73.7% (95% CI, 62.7% to 84.8%), respectively, compared with 57.5% (95% CI, 47.6% to 67.4%; P = .26), 57.5% (95% CI, 47.6% to 67.4%; P = .048), and 59.2% (95% CI, 49.4% to 69.0%; P = .08), respectively, in NWTS-5. CONCLUSION VI produced a high response rate in patients with metastatic DAWT. AREN0321 treatment seemed to improve outcomes for patients with stage II to IV DAWT compared with NWTS-5, but with increased toxicity. The UH2 regimen warrants further investigation with modifications to reduce toxicity.PURPOSE Presence of teratoma in patients with metastatic testicular germ cell tumor (GCT) is of unknown prognostic significance. We report survival outcomes of patients with or without teratoma in primary tumor and postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RPLND) specimen and assess impact on prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with metastatic nonseminomatous GCT (NSGCT) who were evaluated at Indiana University between 1990 and 2016 and had primary testicular tumor specimen from orchiectomy (ORCH) were included. All patients were treated with cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy. The cohort was divided into 2 groups according to presence or absence of teratoma in ORCH specimen. Survival data were correlated with histopathologic findings. Differences in progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated using log-rank tests and Cox proportional hazards models to adjust for known adverse prognostic factors. RESULTS We identified 1,224 consecutive p
