Management of Seminomatous Testicular Cancer: A Binational Prospective Population-Based Study From the Swedish Norwegian Testicular Cancer Study Group

Abstract: An international, population-based treatment protocol for testicular seminoma is feasible with excellent results. Surveillance remains a good option for CS1 patients. No factors predicted relapse in CS1 patients on surveillance. Despite resulting in a lower rate of relapse than with adjuvant carboplatin, adjuvant radiotherapy has been abandoned in the Swedish and Norwegian Testicular Cancer Project (SWENOTECA) as a recommended treatment option because of concerns of induction of secondary cancers. The higher n… Show more

“…The 2 most important factors associated with poor prognosis includes the presence of rete-testis invasion and tumours size of ≥ 4 cm. The overall cancer-specific survival rate reported with surveillance performed by experienced centres is 97-100% for seminoma stage I (Warde et al, 1998;Aparicio et al, 2003;Tandstad et al, 2011). The main drawback of surveillance is the need for more intensive follow-up, especially with repeated imaging examinations of the retroperitoneal lymph nodes, for at least 5 years after orchidectomy.…”

“…9,15,23,32 At the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, 23 similar to the Danish cohort study, 9 retroperitoneal metastases either in isolation or with synchronous pelvic or inguinal metastases, accounted for 93% of relapses. Abdominopelvic CT is the main method of detecting infradiaphragmatic relapses in 85 -99% of surveillance cases.…”
