Wording

All references to “non-seminoma tumour(s)” are now “non-seminoma(s)”.

Summary: Results

The interquartile ranges for tumour size are reported separately for the two tumour types: 2.5‒5.0 and 2.3‒4.5 cm for seminomas and non-seminomas, respectively. The number of patients who did not receive therapy that conformed with guidelines was 11 (not 5).

Results: Tumour markers and stage of disease

In stage III seminoma, 72.7% of patients had marker-positive disease (not 66.7%).

Results: Table 4

For the patients with stage III seminoma, the percentages reported for each treatment regimen are the proportion of the prognosis group (not the treatment type).

Discussion

Any tumour marker was elevated in non-seminoma stage I in 64.9% (not 64.5%) of patients.
