Largest study of patients with early stage II testicular cancer shows radiation therapy is more effective than chemotherapy
03 May 2016
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 2cms in diameter).
These findings were presented at the ESTRO 35 conference and published simultaneously in Clinical Oncology.
ESTRO 35 is attended by about 5000 participants from 80 countries. It features new research results in clinical radiation oncology, radiobiology, physics, technology, and brachytherapy, presented by top doctors and scientists from all over the world.
