title: [Neoplasia of the testis: surgical, radiological, and chemotherapeutic approach. Analysis and results of a retrospective study].
abstract: The Authors report the results of a retrospective study in patients with testicular cancer admitted to hospital between January 1979 and July 1991. A total of 59 cases of testicular cancer were treated: 42 seminomatous and 17 non-seminomatous. Radiotherapy was carried out with satisfactory results in patients with stage 1 and 2 seminoma (22 cases). A "wait and see" policy was adopted in 2 cases. The majority of non-seminomatous tumours underwent retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy followed by chemo- and/or radiotherapy (9 cases). Retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy plays a vital role in correct pathological staging and the evaluation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
