Abstract
98 Patients with seminoma were treated at Clinic of Radiation Oncology of Gülhane Military Medicine Academy between the years 1974–1995. All cases were undergone orchiectomy. The median age of the patients whom were staged respectively 76%, 17%, 7% according to AJCC system, stage I, stage II and stage III was 28 (20–58).While 87 patients were undergone only radiotherapy, 11 patients with advanced stage had taken chemotherapy with radiotherapy. In 52 months of median follow up duration, 5 year disease free survival rates were 98.6%, 93.3%, 25% and 94.5% for stage I, stage II, stage III and all stages respectively.As a result, we can propose that the seminoma is a disease with good results in oncology. In our view detailed staging and new treatment approaches in advanced disease will achieve better results in the future.
