Low-dose radiotherapy for stage I seminoma: early results.
One hundred and one patients with stage I seminoma were irradiated with total doses of 30, 25.5 and 20 Gy to gradually reduced target volumes (paraaortic, pelvic, and inguinal regions to paraaortic only). Low doses and small target volumes resulted in excellent survival and freedom of recurrence but in more frequent nausea.
