Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of BEP chemotherapy regimen in patients with metastatic testicular cancer. Patients and method: Restropective and prospective description study of 36 patients with metastatic testicular cancer who received bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin chemotherapy at K hospital from 1/2014 to 6/2022. Results: Disease Control Rate is 79,6%. There was 22,2% case with complete respond. The partly respond is 55,7%, stable disease is 2,8%. The incidence of leukopenia in grade 3 and grade 4 is 33,3% and 22,9%. Erythrocytopenia was seen in 47,2% of cases, all is grade 1 and 2. Liver and kidney toxicity is uncommon and mostly is grade 1 and 2. The mean overall survival is 75,5 ± 5,7. Five-year survival rate is 77,8%. Conclusions: BEP (bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin) is an effective chemotherapeutic regimen for metastatic testicular cancer  patients.
