TL;DR
Analysis of relapse-free survival excluding stage I marker-negative patients gave results similar to those reported by the MRC Working Party on Testicular Tumours (1985).

259 patients with stage I non-seminomatous germ-cell testicular teratoma treated by orchidectomy alone and monitored at one often centres in the United Kingdom were followed for a median of 30 months, with a 2-year relapse-free rate of 74%, falling to 68% at 4 years.

The use of combined data on tumour arising in the sophisticated staging techniques and combination chemotestis shows that mortality data are unlikely to be useful different histologies can do nothing but hinder the search for epidemiological research purposes.

The survival of patients with testicular cancer in all stages may be improved by heightening public awareness through educational programs, and complete response was significantly associated with the symptomatic interval.

The overall prognosis of patients with malignant germ cell tumours may be increased by an early diagnosis of testicular tumours in non-symptomatic patients, especially in men with possible risk factors.
