title: [A clinico-statistical study of testicular tumors--a reevaluation of 90 cases at the Nagasaki University Hospital and affiliated hospitals].
abstract: We have treated 90 cases of testicular tumors at our institutes from April, 1962 to March, 1986. Of 75 which were germ cell type tumors, 35 were a seminoma, for which the 5-year survival rate was 100% for patients in stage I, and 50% for those in stage III, respectively. Forty cases were non-seminomas, and all cases determined as being in stage I survived for 5 years, whereas 47.6% cases of those in stage III survived for 4.5 years. Thirty-six percent of those with a stage I germ cell tumor were treated with a orchiectomy alone, while other cases also combined radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Almost all cases of an advanced tumor received combined retroperitoneal lymph node resection, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Patients with an advanced nonseminomatous tumor showed better a survival rate if they were given CDDP chemotherapy.
