10/01/1997 - "We studied 30 adult males aged 40 to 70 years: 10 had had bilateral orchidectomy and/or maximal androgen blockade for > or = 6 months for treatment of prostate cancer, and all were in complete remission (group 1). "

12/15/1993 - "Total androgen blockade is a more effective treatment for metastatic prostate cancer than orchiectomy alone in this study population."

02/01/1993 - "As most children will present with stage I disease and be cured by radical orchiectomy alone, careful surveillance is adequate with the knowledge that effective chemotherapy is available should tumor recur. "
11/01/1987 - "Orchidectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy were highly effective in Group II patients and in a large proportion of those with more advanced tumors. "
03/01/1980 - "The best results from treatment of nonseminomatous germinative testicular tumors were obtained according to the following regimen: Stage A: (Tumor limited to the testis without invasion of the cord): Radical orchiectomy, lymphadenectomy, immune stimulation. "
09/01/2002 - "The neoplasm was staged I(E)/A; left orchiectomy and chemotherapy were performed, producing complete remission. "
01/01/1988 - "Orchiectomy led to a marked and statistically significant reduction in tumor growth rate as determined by both methods of quantification. "

01/01/1999 - "In our study, radical orchiectomy and postoperative irradiation of iliac and paraaortic lymphaticus give good results for patients with Stage I and II testicular seminoma."
01/01/2011 - "What are the effects of maintenance chemotherapy in men who are in remission after orchidectomy and chemotherapy for good-prognosis non-stage 1 seminoma? "
01/01/2007 - "What are the effects of maintenance chemotherapy in men in remission after orchidectomy and chemotherapy for good-prognosis non-stage 1 seminoma? "
01/01/1982 - "The treatment of pure seminomas gave 100% good results by a combination of unilateral orchidectomy, radiotherapy and, in the case of stage III tumours with spread, chemotherapy. "
08/01/2002 - "Orchiectomy with radiotherapy is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for Stage I-II testicular seminoma. "

03/15/1971 - "Complete remission of metastatic carcinoma of male breast following simultaneous adrenalectomy and orchidectomy."
03/01/1986 - "The prompt regression of the disease causing the obstruction confirms that orchiectomy alone can be an effective treatment of massive, functionally significant metastatic carcinoma of the prostate."
11/01/2012 - "The study evaluates the clinical and pathological findings of 16 patients with locally advanced penile carcinoma (PC) submitted to emasculation, and discusses questions related to the usefulness of bilateral orchiectomy. "
06/01/2011 - "Prospective randomised controlled trial comparing sub-epididymal orchiectomy versus conventional orchiectomy in metastatic carcinoma of prostate."
03/01/2008 - "Anaemia has been observed in similar studies done on Caucasians and non-black patients in non-tropical environments Consecutive patients with advanced carcinoma of the prostate who were managed by the authors over a four-year period, and who were treated with bilateral orchiectomy were prospectively studied. "

03/01/2008 - "This medical history revealed that, 2 years previously, he had been diagnosed with a testicular mixed germ cell tumor (GCTs), for which he had undergone right inguinal orchidectomy and chemotherapy, leading to complete remission. "
01/01/2007 - "Eight years earlier, he had been treated with chemotherapy for an extragonadal germ cell tumor, without orchiectomy, leading to complete remission. "
04/01/1992 - "This study was designed to determine the proportion of patients with clinical stage I nonseminomatous germ cell tumors of the testis (NSGCTT) managed with surveillance after orchidectomy who have more advanced disease and, therefore, require further treatment, the time to progression, the sites of progression, and the efficacy of treatment delayed until progression was recognized. "
02/15/1995 - "Little is known about the efficacy of systemic chemotherapy in eradicating the primary testicular germ cell cancer; however, there is concern that the testis may act as a sanctuary site for germ cell cancer in these patients, and orchiectomy, is, therefore, recommended after chemotherapy. "
01/01/1991 - "Surveillance protocols for clinical stage I nonseminomatous germ cell tumors of the testis have demonstrated that using current staging methods, approximately 75% of clinical stage I patients can be cured with orchiectomy alone. "
