NEW CONCEPTS ΙΝ ΤΗΕ MANAGEMENT OF TESTICULAR CANCER
Abstract
We present our experience from the management of 20 cases with testicular malignant tumors. All patients were subjected to orchidectomy; additional treatment i.e. chemotherapy and/or irradiation, was also administered, depending on histologic type of the lesion and the results of the other laboratory tests. The problems encountered during the management of the cases are analysed and discussed.References
