[Effect of retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy on late therapeutic results in testicular tumors].
The end results of treatment of patients suffering from testicular tumors without distant metastases were assessed with a due amount of tumor histology and stage. In a study group consisting of 122 patients, orchofuniculectomy was followed by lymphadenectomy and subsequent chemotherapy. In the other group (141 patients), retroperitoneal lymph nodes were not removed and chemotherapy course was started immediately after orchofuniculectomy. Comparison of the end results of therapy in both groups shows that retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy assures a better effect in the treatment of teratoblastoma and embryonal testicular tumor with retroperitoneal metastases.
