Surveillance and Radiation Therapy for Stage I Seminoma-Have We Learned From the Evidence?

There has been a significant increase in use of AS for stage I seminoma, influenced by both sociodemogrpahic and clinicopathologic factors. Between AT options, there has been significant increase in use of CT, mirrored by a decline in use of RT. Although overall survival remains high for all 3 treatment strategies, AT seems to be associated with a small absolute survival advantage over AS up to 10 years out from diagnosis.
