'Watch policy' in patients with suspected stage I testicular seminoma: CT as a sole staging and surveillance technique.
A study was undertaken to assess the role of computed tomography (CT) as the sole imaging technique for the staging and surveillance of patients with stage I testicular seminoma. Of the 15 patients studied, five (33%) relapsed. This relapse rate differs from other studies. The reasons for this are discussed.
