Abstract

A report is given on 113 patients who had been irradiated because of testicle tumors and a part of whom had been submitted to an anterior lymphadenectomy. The five-year survival rate of the seminomas of all stages was 81% (n = 61) and that of the non-seminomas of all stages was 54% (n = 52). It has to be mentioned that the group of patients with seminomas of the stages T1-2N0M0 had a five-year survival rate of 100%, and those with embryonic teratomas of all stages had a five-year survival rate of 69%. With regard to these therapy results, it is recommended to carry out the radiotherapy of testicle tumors in conformity to the individual stage. A therapy scheme is presented.
