In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Phase II, multicenter, prospective, randomized, non-comparative, de-escalation study. Patients with stage IIa/IIb \< 3 cm seminoma histologically proved after orchiectomy will be included in the study and will receive 1 cycle of Etoposide Cisplatine (EP) chemotherapy. Patients with negative week-3 PET-scan after the EP cycle, will be randomized (1:1 ratio, stratification according to the disease stage (stage IIa versus IIb seminoma)) to receive either radiotherapy (RT) boost on lymph nodes or 1 cycle of carboplatin AUC7 chemotherapy. Patients with positive week-3 PET-scan will received 3 additional cycles of EP chemotherapy. In parallel, eligible patients scheduled to receive standard lombo-aortic RT will be registered in an observational cohort.
