Clinical characteristics, prognosis, and treatment of pelvic cryptorchid seminoma

Abstract: Stage I and II PCS can be adequately controlled by radiotherapy regardless of the surgical procedure. Whole abdominal-pelvic irradiation for Stage I and IIA disease is not required, and fields can be limited to the paraaortic, ipsilateral iliac nodes and primary tumor or tumor bed. We recommend platinum-based chemotherapy for Stage IIB-IV PCS.

“…The size of primary tumor in inguinal seminoma is similar to that found in scrotal seminoma, but it is much smaller than that seen in pelvic cryptorchid seminoma (22). This can easily be explained by early detection and diagnosis of tumor development in case of inguinal and scrotal seminoma.…”

“…Of these 373 patients, 136 had a history of cryptorchidism, of whom 25 (23 inguinal and 2 pelvic) had prior orchiopexy. Sixtyeight patients with seminomas arising in pelvic undescended cryptorchid testis were reported elsewhere (22). Of the remaining 66 patients, 43 patients had primary tumor located distally or proximally in the inguinal canal, and 23 patients who underwent prior orchiopexy for inguinal cryptorchidism presented with primary tumor in the scrotum.…”

“…The cause of neutropenia, leukopenia is the result of side effects of etoposide and cisplatin which causes bone marrow myelosuppression so that the production of white blood cells and platelets decreases. (Li et al, 1997) Alopecia is the most common side effect due to bleomycin and etoposide, this is due to chemotherapy drugs causing disruption of cellular absorption of hair follicles thus disrupting hair growth (J.A Christian ett all., 2003).…”

“…Twenty-percent of patients have involvement of regional lymph nodes at presentation (Any T, N1-3, M0: Stage II), most commonly para-aortic nodes. Involvement of inguinal and iliac lymph nodes is uncommon except in cases of prior pelvic or abdominal surgery where the normal lymphatic drainage may be disturbed, seminoma arising in a cryptorchid testis [4,5], congenital anomalies of the genitourinary tract [6], or bulky para-aortic lymphadenopathy [6]. Distant metastases are evident at diagnosis (Any T, Any N, M1: Stage III) in only 5% of patients.…”
