The significance of scrotal interference in stage I testicular cancer managed by orchiectomy and surveillance.
Of 210 patients with clinical Stage I testicular tumours managed by orchiectomy and surveillance, 36 had scrotal interference at or prior to removal of their primary tumour. None developed inguinoscrotal relapse during a mean observation period of 37 months. The overall relapse rate of 4/36 (11%) compared favourably with that of the surveillance series as a whole (18%).
