Clinical records and pathological material from 9 stage IE cancer patients treated at our institutions were reviewed. All but 1 patient had B cell type lymphomas of intermediate (6) or high (3) grade according to the Working Formulation. Mean survival was 49 months and actuarial survival was 74 per cent at 5 years. Chemotherapy differed with time and frequently was associated with subdiaphragmatic involved field and prophylactic contralateral testis radiotherapy. In view of the good prognosis of patients receiving doxorubicin-based chemotherapy and recent reports on low stage nonHodgkin’s lymphoma we recommend an aggressive brief therapy for stage IE lymphoma of the testis after orchiectomy. © 1989 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited bySalem Y and Miller H (2018) Lymphoma of Genitourinary TractJournal of Urology, VOL. 151, NO. 5, (1162-1170), Online publication date: 1-May-1994.Root M, Wang T, Hescock H, Parker M, Hudson P and Balducci L (2018) Burkitt’s Lymphoma of the Testicle: Report of 2 Cases Occurring in Elderly PatientsJournal of Urology, VOL. 144, NO. 5, (1239-1241), Online publication date: 1-Nov-1990.
