The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute and late effects of irradiation in 56 patients with stage I and II testicular seminomas. A retrospective study of patients' records was performed paying attention to the acute and late toxicity of radiation in relation to treatment fields and radiation
BACKGROUND
Seminomas have been rarely associated with malignant hypercalcemia. The responsible mechanism of hypercalcemia in this setting has been described to be secondary to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D secretion. The relationship with PTHrP has not been determined or studied.The aim of this study is
OBJECTIVE
Adjuvant carboplatin is used as adjuvant therapy in Stage I testicular seminoma. Although cure is the rule, relapses still occur, especially in high-risk populations. We report the results of a risk-adapted strategy by the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group.
METHODS
From 1996 to 2003, 64
Twenty-one patients with Stage IIA or B seminoma have been treated post orchidectomy by a single course of carboplatin prior to conventional radiotherapy in either the Royal Marsden Hospital or the Norwegian Radium Hospital during 1989-1993. Follow-up ranged from 8 months to 51 months with a mean of
Between May 1990 and August 1992, 5 patients with advanced seminoma were treated with single agent carboplatin at Kyoto University. The mean follow-up period of all patients was 23 months. The clinical stage was IIA: 1, IIB: 1, IIIA: 2, IIIB1: 1. Three to 4 courses of carboplatin at 400 mg/m2, were
From June 1977 through June 1993, ninety-five patients with testicular seminoma were treated in our center. This paper reports on 67 assessable patients--52 with stage I and 15 with non-bulky stage II disease. Median follow-up is 8 years (range: 4-16 years). Postorchiectomy radiotherapy consisted in
OBJECTIVE
Nausea and vomiting are frequent side effects during adjuvant abdominal radiotherapy in seminoma stage I patients. This study evaluates the efficacy and side effects of prophylactically administered tropisetron in comparison to metoclopramide.
METHODS
Twenty-three seminoma stage I patients
In this study we followed up the side effects of adjuvant radiotherapy in patients with testicular seminoma stage I over a period from 13 to 84 months (median 28 months). The most frequent side effects during radiotherapy were gastrointestinal (nausea/vomiting), psychological, cognitive, and minor
The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the acute gastrointestinal morbidity of adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for Stage I seminoma of the testis. Ten Stage I patients receiving para-aortic and ipsilateral pelvic nodal (dog-leg) RT provided a toxicity baseline (group A). Twenty Stage I patients,
Cisplatin has played a major role in the treatment of germ cell tumors. However, it causes renal damage, severe nausea and vomiting. It is also neurotoxic and ototoxic. Carboplatin is an analog of cisplatin which, does not cause renal damage at therapeutic doses. It is not neurotoxic or ototoxic and
The traditional adjuvant therapy for seminoma stage I is abdominal radiotherapy. Although the relapse rate ranges below 5% this treatment is challenged because concerns about adverse late effects are accumulating. Carboplatin is effective in metastatic seminoma and two pilot studies have indicated
OBJECTIVE
To assess the tolerance of adjuvant radiotherapy in the treatment of stage I seminoma post-orchiectomy.
METHODS
Between 2001 and 2006, 21 men with stage I seminoma underwent 3D conformal radiotherapy 3 to 4 weeks post-orchiectomy. The total radiation dose was 2490 cGy divided into 15
BACKGROUND
Standard post-orchiectomy radiotherapy (RT) is accepted as a standard management option for stage I seminoma.
METHODS
Retrospective evaluation of 74 patients with stage I seminoma was performed according to the Royal Marsden staging system. All of the patients underwent RT in the
From June 1977 through June 1987, 46 patients (36 evaluable) affected by stage I and II non-bulky testicular seminoma were treated with postoperative telecobaltotherapy (TCT). In stage I seminomas, radiotherapy was extended to the omolateral iliac and the para-aortic areas (total dose: 30 Gy over 4
OBJECTIVE
Although radiotherapy is considered to be a standard treatment of stage A testicular seminoma, an increasing number of studies have reported encouraging results of the treatment by carboplatin monochemotherapy (CBDCA). The aim of this study was to analyse the treatment results of patients
