[Radiotherapeutic aspects of testicular tumours: results and problems (author's transl)].
The five-year survival rate of patients with seminoma (61 cases) of all stages was 81% (seven-year survival rate 67%). Within this group the T1-2N0M0 stage had a five-year survival rate of 100%. Patients with tumours other than seminoma (52 cases) of all stages had a five-year survival rate of 54% (seven-year survival rate 47%). These results and those reported by others are the basis for not advocating routinely total radiation of the lymphatic pathways in the early tumour stages.
