摘要
Forty‐eight patients with newly‐diagnosed testicular seminomas were followed for a mean of 7 years after treatment. At the time of diagnosis, seminoma was confined to testis in 74% (36) and was metastatic to retroperitoneal lymph nodes in 15% (7) and to distant nodal sites or parenchymal organs in 10% (5). Ninety‐six percent remained free of disease, 94% in first complete remission (CR) and 2% after treatment of first recurrence. Long‐term disease‐free survival in CR per stage was 97% (35/36) for Stage I, 100% for Stage II, and 80% (4/5) for Stage III. However, three patients, who received prior chest radiation therapy (RT), died from acute myocardial infarction 2, 9, and 10 years after treatment and while free of disease.
