Abstract 216P
Background
Seminomas form around 50% of germ cell tumours of testes. It commonly occurs during third decade. It is highly chemo sensitive and radio sensitive. Those patients who recur during surveillance for early stage can be salvaged by treatment with chemotherapy or radiotherapy most of the times.
Methods
Data was collected from master case sheets of seminoma patients treated over a period of five years from January 2013 to December 2017 at department of Madras medical college, Chennai.
Results
28 patients had seminoma of testes with a median age of 37 years. All patients had classical type histopathology. Right testis was more commonly involved (n=21) than left (n=7). 4 patients had seminoma arising from undescended testes. 10.7% (n=3) patients had elevated beta hcg and 28.5% (n=8) had elevated LDH. 9 patients had stage I, 12 patients had stage II and 7 patients had stage III disease. 3 patients had trans scrotal violation at peripheral hospital. 6 patients with stage I received paraaortic nodal irradiation with a mean dose of 24Gy of which 3 patients received inguinal irradiation also. All stage II and stage III patients received adjuvant chemotherapy with BEP regimen with minimum of 3 cycles. 2.5 year DFS and OS in stage I was 88.9% (n=8) and 100% (n=9) respectively. 2.5 year DFS and OS in stage II was 83.3% (n=10) and 91.6% (n=11) respectively. 2.5 year DFS and OS was 71.4% (n=5) and 71.4% (n=5) respectively.
Conclusions
Patients presented with advanced stage compared to that given in literature due to ignorance. Treatment results were comparable with that given in the literature.
