โœฆ Synopsis

Experience with 200 cases of testicular tumors seen over a period of I0 years has been presented. Modes of presentation, response to treatment, and patterns of failure have been analyzed in 186 cases of germ cell tumors. The role of radiation in the overall management of seminomas is reaffirmed, and the need for adjuvant radiation to the supraclavicular region and mediastinum is demonstrated in Stage I1 cases of seminoma. Results of treatment with radiation alone or combined with chemotherapy were not encouraging in nonseminomas in the current series. The advantages of an aggressive multimodal approach with judicious combination of surgery, radiation treatment, and combination chemotherapy have been discussed, with review of relevant literature.

## Abstract Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the most common cancer among young men in the United States and Western Europe. Prior evidence suggests that TGCT may arise in perinatal life, although few risk factors have yet been identified. To study the etiology of TGCT, the US Servicemen's Te
