Radiotherapy and chemotherapy in testis tumors.
Testis tumor is rare but interesting tumor as it is a true model of curable solid tumor in adults. The use of chemotherapy constitutes one of its most successful applications. Seminoma are characterized by a great sensitivity to radiation which remains the additional adjuvant treatment for early tumors. For dysgerminoma, the authors discuss the wait and see policy for early tumors and the role of chemotherapy for advanced diseases.
