Between 1971 and 1983, 26 patients with testicular pure seminoma treated at the Yonsei Cancer Center with radiotherapy are analyzed.
The stage distribution was: stage Ⅰ 46%(12/26), stage Ⅱ 42(11/26), and stage Ⅲ 12% (3/26). Tumor histological subtypes were typical seminoma in 8 ]Patients, anaplastic seminoma in 4 patients, and unknown subtypes in 14 patients.
Three-year actuarial disease free survival rate was: overall 76%, stage Ⅰ 91%, stage Ⅱ 80%, stage Ⅲ 0%.
Treatment failure were analyzed to determine their apparent causes and the implication of such failures to the future management of the testicular pure seminoma.
