Testicular tumours--a 15 year study.

Summary Sixty-two patients with testicular tumour were managed in the Royal Naval Hospital HASLAR in the 15 year period 1971–1985. Fifty-seven had adult malignant primary tumours and are presented. Fifty cases are available for survival analysis. No patient with seminoma is dead. Two patients with non-seminomata and two with combined tumours, all servicemen, are dead (8%) and 46 patients (92%) survive 6–175 months after presentation. The relevance of the condition to the Service is emphasised and the results of treatment are analysed with particular regard to early return to high-category medical fitness for continued service.
