A retrospective study of all cases of pure testicular seminoma treated at the Hadassah University Hospital in Jerusalem from 1978 through 1986 was conducted. Of the 22 patients, 15 (70%) presented in Stage I, 4 (18%) in Stage II, 2 (9%) in Stage III and 1 (4%) in Stage IV. The results of treatment were evaluable for 20 of these patients. After a median follow-up of 4 years, only the patient with Stage IV disease died of disseminated seminoma. The remaining 19 patients are all alive and disease free, including 3 after radiotherapy for recurrent disease. Elevated beta-human chorionic gonadotropin levels before treatment did not predict an unfavorable outcome. Our excellent results are similar to those obtained at larger treatment centers.
