Radiotherapy more effective than chemotherapy for early stage II testicular cancer

A large study of testicular cancer patients has shown that radiation therapy is a better treatment than chemotherapy for patients with stage IIa disease (where one or more regional lymph nodes contain cancer cells but they are less than 2 cm in diameter). These findings, presented at the ESTRO 35 conference and published simultaneously in Clinical Oncology, are important because, until now, there has been little evidence about which treatment for testicular seminoma is more effective.
