Abstract:
:Eighty-four patients with testicular seminoma were treated at the Northern Israel Oncology Center during the years 1968-1988. Using the staging classification of Hussey, 69 patients (82%) had Stage I, eight (10%) had Stage IIA, four (5%) had Stage IIB, one (1%) had Stage IIIA, and two (2%) had Stage IIIB disease. Sixty-nine patients (82%) had classic pure seminoma, nine (11%) had anaplastic seminoma and six (7%) had spermatocytic seminoma. Seventy-four patients (88%) underwent high inguinal orchiectomy and ten (12%) had a scrotal approach. Seventy-five patients (85%) were treated with postoperative irradiation. Stage I patients received 26-30 Gy to the paraaortic and ipsilateral pelvic lymph nodes. Stage IIA patients were treated in the same manner with a boost to the involved lymph nodes. With a mean follow-up of 97 months, 65 patients (77%) are alive and well with no evidence of disease, 7 patients (8%) are dead due to disease progression. The 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-year actuarial survival for all patients was 90%, and for early stage patients 94%. Eight patients (14%) relapsed; 3 of them were salvaged by chemotherapy. Serious side effects of irradiation included lethal respiratory failure due to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in one patient, peptic ulcer in three patients, hydronephrosis due to paraureteral fibrosis in one patient and recurrent paralytic ileus in one patient. Eight patients (10%) developed nine second cancers, three of them within the previous radiation field.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
