Abstract
Testicular tumor is a rare tumor in men. Testicular seminoma is less aggressive than nonseminoma of germ cell tumors. Adjuvant nodal irradiation is an option of early stages I, IIA and IIB ≤ 3 cm pure seminoma disease. The aim of this study was to investigate which radiotherapy technique is better in nodal irradiation of early stage II pure seminoma, 3D-CRT or VMAT.

Testicular tumor is a rare tumor in men
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is one of the most common techniques used nowadays due to high therapeutic ratio comparable to the conventional technique low integral dose (V5) is still one of the drawbacks of modern irradiation techniques which are not the case in conventional techniques
Adjuvant nodal irradiation is an option of early stages I, IIA and IIB ≤ 3 cm pure seminoma disease [11,12]
Summary
Testicular tumor is a rare tumor in men. The aim of this study was to investigate which radiotherapy technique is better in nodal irradiation of early stage II pure seminoma, 3D-CRT or VMAT. Testicular tumor is a rare tumor in men and represents less than 1% with peak incidence between ages 20-34 years [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. Adjuvant nodal irradiation is an option of early stages I, IIA and IIB ≤ 3 cm pure seminoma disease [11,12]. The radiation dose in stage I is 20 Gy [13] while early stage II is 30-36 Gy of pure seminoma disease [12]
