Abstract
Histological analysis of whole orchiectomy specimens showed that CIS is almost always present in testicular parenchyma adjacent to germ cell tumor. In bilateral testis cancer or cancer occurring in a solitary testis tumorectomy plus radiotherapy appears to be the appropriate treatment in patients with a small tumor and no other risk factors. In patients who wish to father a child and have preserved spermatogenesis the natural history of CIS allows the postponement of testicular radiotherapy after orchiectomy, giving the double advantage of preserving testicular endocrine function and maintaining the possibility of natural fatherhood.
