Abstract
Chapter 12 discusses the role of radiotherapy in testicular cancer and how it is becoming less prominent. The mainstay of treatment is radical orchidectomy and, where there is a risk of metastatic disease, combination chemotherapy. Radiotherapy may be indicated in the following situations: 1) stage I and IIa testicular seminoma delivering prophylactic para-aortic lymph nodes irradiation, and 2) palliative treatment in the management of chemotherapy resistant disease.
