(Posted: 06/07/2004, Updated: 06/23/2008) - One shot of carboplatin may be as effective as radiation therapy in treating early seminoma, a kind of testicular cancer, according to updated findings presented at the 2008 ASCO meeting in Chicago.

2.  Fewer CT Scans Needed after Surgery for Low-Risk, Early-Stage Testicular Cancer
(Posted: 06/28/2006, Reviewed: 04/17/2007) - During the follow-up period after surgery, two computed tomography (CT) scans were just as effective as five CT scans in detecting relapse for patients with a certain kind of low-risk, early-stage testicular cancer, according to findings presented at the 2006 meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
