20-year survival of seminoma after repeated radiation treatment at 200 kV for abdominal metastases of seminoma: renal and vertebral sequelae.
A 25-year-old man with a seminoma is irradiated several times until the age of 33 for multiple and relapsing metastases. The recovery is maintained for 20 years. The very high total irradiation doses have caused osteonecrotic lesions of the lumbar spine and some functional, but discreet renal problems.
