From Jan.61 to Dec.81, 117 patients with seminoma of testis were treated in the Leon Berard Centre, Lyon. All had undergone lymphography during investigation of possible extension, 19 were treated with 200 KV up 1966, 64 with Cobalt up to 1978 and 29 with photons x of 18 MV since that date. From 1979 adjuvant chemotherapy has always included cisplatinum. The 5 years survival rate was 95% of stage I (51/54 cases), 72% of stage II (26/36 cases) and 1/7 of stage III. Unsuccessful treatment of neoplasm was noted in 23 patients, in 80% of cases during the first two years and involving mainly pulmonary metastases. Three patients had mediastinal metastases while recovery surgery was possible in 4 cases. Three fatal iatrogenic complications were observed. Since the use of high energies, particularLy x beams of 18 MV there has been almost total absence of radic complications. Therapy now proposed is as follows: stage I: surgery plus radiotherapy; stage II A-B: surgery and irradiation avoiding mediastinum; stage II C and III: primary chemotherapy.
