Abstract
An analysis of 80 patients with seminoma of the testis treated at Brooke General Hospital, from July 1947 to March 1971, is presented. Forty-nine patients with Stage I disease were treated prophylactically to the mediastinum and left supraclavicular area in addition to receiving periaortic and pelvic irradiation. Twenty-two patients with Stage I disease received only periaortic and pelvic irradiation. No recurrences have been observed in Stage I patients with either method of treatment. The crude survival rates for the entire group of 80 patients at 5, 10, and 15 years were 97, 93, and 92%, respectively.
