title: [Radiation treatment of malignant testicular tumors--results, side effects, analysis of recurrences].
abstract: A retrospective study was conducted in order to investigate the radiotherapeutic results of 123 patients with testicle tumors. The overall five-year survival rate was 85% out of 75 patients suffering from seminoma and 70% out of 48 patients suffering from teratoma. Recurrences as well as complications are analyzed in detail. The authors underline the necessity of an adaption of radiotherapy to the individual stage comprising the complete regional lymph node regions.
