Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective than radiation therapy for testicular cancer

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of carboplatin with that of radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage I testicular cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Compare relapse rates in patients with stage I testicular seminoma treated with adjuvant radiotherapy vs carboplatin II Compare quality of life of patients before and after treatment with these regimens III Compare the acute and intermediate 1-2 year side effects of these regimens in these patients IV Determine the incidence of late side effects such as bowel dysfunction of treatment and second malignancies in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms Arm I Patients receive a single dose of carboplatin IV Arm II Patients undergo radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year every 4 months for 1 year every 6 months for 1 year and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 800 patients will be accrued for this study within 4 years
