A clinicostatistical analysis was conducted on 77 patients with testicular tumors treated in the Department of Urology of Gunma University Hospital, between January 1993 and April 1999. Of the 77 patients, 71 had germ cell tumors (seminoma in 34 cases and non-seminoma in 37), and the other 6 had 5 malignant lymphoma and 1 Leydig cell tumor. Their age ranged from 0 to 75 years, with an average of 33.9 years. The patients with seminoma were significantly older than the patients with non-seminoma. Most patients complained of painless swelling of the scrotal contents, and some complained of testicular pain, abdominal pain, fever, and so on. Clinical stage was more progressive in the non-seminomas than in the seminomas.<BR>Recurrence developed in 4 patients, and 2 of them died of progressive diseases within 1 year from the beginning of the first treatment. The five-year survival rate calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method was 100% and 89.2% for seminoma and non-seminoma, respectively, and it was 97.8%, 100%, 100%, 80.0% and 85.7% in stage I, II A, III 0, II B, and III A, B, C, respectively.
