Abstract

Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (1988-2015) we identified 11,206 stage I testicular seminoma patients, who underwent respectively surveillance (40%), chemotherapy (CHT; 8%), or radiotherapy (RT; 52%) after orchiectomy. Surveillance and CHT rates increased over time, whereas RT rates decreased. A protective effect of active treatment defined as either RT or CHT was identified on cancer-specific mortality, relative to surveillance.
