Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as cisplatin vincristine bleomycin carboplatin and etoposide phosphate work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Giving more than one drug combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating germ cell tumors

PURPOSE This randomized phase II trial is studying two different combination chemotherapy regimens to compare how well they work in treating male patients with germ cell tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Compare the response rate in patients with poor-prognosis extracranial nonseminoma germ cell tumors treated with intensive induction chemotherapy comprising cisplatin vincristine bleomycin and carboplatin followed by bleomycin etoposide phosphate and cisplatin BEP vs standard BEP chemotherapy

Secondary

Compare overall and progression-free survival of patients treated with these regimens
Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients

OUTLINE This is a multicenter open-label randomized study Patients are stratified according to participating center pre-protocol low-dose chemotherapy yes vs no and other clinically important factors Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I BEP Patients receive bleomycin IV over 15 minutes once on day 1 or 2 and days 8 and 15 and etoposide phosphate IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV over 4 hours on days 1-5 Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Arm II CBOPBEP Patients receive chemotherapy according to the following schedule

Weeks 1-6 Patients receive cisplatin IV over 6 hours on days 1 2 8 15 16 and 22 OR over 4 hours on days 1-5 and 15-19 vincristine IV on days 1 8 15 22 29 and 36 bleomycin IV over 15 minutes on days 1 15 29 and 36 and bleomycin IV continuously on days 8-12 and 22-25 and carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on days 8 and 22
Weeks 7-15 Patients receive bleomycin IV continuously on days 1-5 8-12 and 15-19 and etoposide phosphate IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV over 4 hours on days 1-5 Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses

After completion of study treatment patients are followed periodically for 5 years
