Analyses of 98 seminoma cases: a review article.

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.
