Abstract:
About 40 % of testicular germ-cell tumours are seminomas, and most of them are clinical stage Ⅰ . For a long time, the standard treatment approach for stage Ⅰ testicular seminoma has been radical inguinal orchiectomy followed by radiotherapy to the para-aortic and ipsilateral pelvic lymph nodes. In recent years, many oncologists indicate that the effect of the adjuvant postoperative para-ortic lymph nodal irradiation and chemotherapy using carboplatin is equivalent to para-aortic and ipsilateral pelvic irradiation post orchiectomy for patients with Stage Ⅰ seminoma of the testis, and the side effects is obviously declined, but the long-term side effects are still indefinite. This review presents the treatment development of the stage Ⅰ testicular seminoma after radical inguinal orchiectomy.
