title: [Clinical aspects and treatment of testicular tumors (author's transl)].
abstract: Experience in the treatment of 167 testicular tumors is reported in 164 patients who were hospitalized during the last 15 years. Seminoma patients were irradiated postoperatibely, teratoma patients since 1965 have been subjected to radical lymphadenectomy and also irradiated postoperatively if there was confirmed evidence of metastases. The total survival rate was 58.6 percent. Cytostatic therapy was used in only a few cases: convincing remission could not be observed. The favorable results so far obtained with lymphadenectomy justify the continuation of surgical treatment.
