Eligibility criteria were: age ≥16 years, diagnosed between 1979 and 2014. Primary end-point was the 5-year OS rate.RESULTS: This database includes 707 IPGCT: group 1 was diagnosed 1979-1996 (n = 237), and group 2 1997-2014 (n = 470). Median follow-up was 8.6 years (IQR: 14.4). Group 1 and 2 received first-line treatment with BEP (median 4 cycles; range 1-6) in 99% (group 1) and 95% (group 2), respectively. The proportion of first-line chemotherapy responders (CR and marker negative PR) was similar: 94% (group 1) and 96% (group 2), respectively (P = 0.290), but OS was superior in group 2 with a 5-year OS rate of 89% compared with 83% in group 1 (P = 0.035).
