brottnámsaðgerð á eista eingöngu læknast 90-
95% sjúklinga með staðbundinn sjúkdóm.
Sjúklingar með meinvörp svara flestir (yfir
90%) meðferð með krabbameinslyfjum eða
geislum og 90% þeirra lifa án sjúkdóms í fjögur
ár frá greiningu (18). Geisla- og lyfjameðferð
hafa ýmsa fylgikvilla, meðal annars aukna tíðni
krabbameina síðar á ævinni og ófrjósemi. Við
teljum að aukið hlutfall yngri karla og hugsan-
lega lægri stigun auki á mikilvægi þess að beita
meðferð með sem fæstum fylgikvillum.
