TREATMENT FOR STAGE I NONSEMINOMATOUS TESTICULAR GERM CELL TUMORS

https://doi.org/10.17650/1726-9776-2011-7-1-10-15

Abstract

Overall survival is about 100 % in patients with stage I testicular germ cell tumors after orchofuniculectomy, which is achieved, by applying alternative adjuvant approaches. Methods, such as a follow-up, chemotherapy or retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy, may be used to treat nonseminomatous germ cell tumors. The paper shows the main advantages and disadvantages of the above treatment options.
