Abstract
It has been accepted for the last 3 decades that many testicular tumors respond well to irradiation, that such adjuvant therapy will lead to almost a 100% cure rate in seminoma (in contrast to the 40% rate achieved prior to 1940 when irradiation was not given) and in some teratomata will achieve a very similar response.
