Abstract
One hundred and one patients with stage I seminoma were irradiated wit h total doses of 30, 25.5 and 20 Gy to gradually reduced target volume s (paraaortic, pelvic, and inguinal regions to paraaortic only). Low d oses and small target volumes resulted in excellent survival and freed om of recurrence but in more frequent nausea.
