The aim of the treatment was to use systemic chemotherapy together with local treatment and CNS prophylaxis. Four patients underwent high inguinal orchidectomy and one patient (patient 2) received radiotherapy as local treatment. [indianjcancer.com]

Over the years, treatment for primary testicular lymphoma has been variable. Treatment using radiation therapy alone provides suboptimal disease control, even for patients with clinically stage I disease. [aboutcancer.com]

Surgery is the standard form of treatment for non metastatic renal cell carcinomas as well as for malignancies of the renal pelvis and ureter, with radical nephrectomy and radical uretectomy being employed. [books.google.com]

Treatments The treatment of testicular cancer usually involves removing the tumor, but more treatment is required to prevent cancer from coming back in the other testicle, central nervous system, and other extranodal sites. [verywell.com]

Prognosis also was related to clinical presentation and initial treatment. All surviving patients underwent orchiectomy and wide-field radiotherapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
