Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Stratum III (chemotherapy, surgery)Experimental Treatment7 Interventions
Patients receive combination chemotherapy with filgrastim (G-CSF) for up to 30 weeks (10 courses) followed by mitotane alone for an additional 2 months. Some patients undergo surgery after chemotherapy course 2 or 4. Some patients undergo additional surgery after finishing all chemotherapy.
Group II: Stratum II (exploratory surgery, observation)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients undergo primary tumor resection and extended regional lymph node dissection followed by observation. Patients who have undergone prior surgery with simple resection of the primary tumor undergo exploratory surgery with extended regional lymph node dissection followed by observation.
Group III: Stratum I (surgery, observation)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients undergo primary tumor resection and retroperitoneal lymph node sampling followed by observation. Patients who have undergone prior surgery without nodal sampling undergo observation only.
