Objectives: To review treatment outcome and patterns of failure for patients with stage II testicular seminoma and to identify prognostic factors for relapse.
Methods: From 1981 to 1999, 126 men with stage II seminoma were treated at Princess Margaret Hospital. Of these, 95 were treated with radiotherapy (RT) and 31 with chemotherapy (ChT).
Objective: Spermatocytic seminoma is a rare testicular tumour that has an extremely low rate of metastasis. We present a review of the management of this malignancy at our institution.
Method And Materials: Between 1981 and 1999, 771 patients were treated at our institution for testicular seminoma.

Purpose: Prophylactic left supraclavicular fossa irradiation has been suggested to reduce relapse rates in patients treated for Stage IIA/B testicular seminoma. To address this issue, we reviewed patterns of failure and treatment outcome in patients treated with radiation therapy at our institution.
Methods And Materials: Between 1981 and 1999, 79 men with Stage II seminoma (IIA, 49; IIB, 30) were treated with radiation therapy (RT) to the para-aortic and ipsilateral (+/- contralateral) pelvic lymph nodes (dose: 25-35 Gy).
