The Role of Postchemotherapy Surgery in Germ Cell Tumors
Urol Clin North Am.
2015 Aug.
Abstract
Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection after chemotherapy has a proved role in the staging and treatment of metastatic testicular cancer. Complete removal of all postchemotherapy residual masses in nonseminomatous germ cell tumor should be performed. Complete removal of positron emission tomography-avid masses greater than 3 cm in pure seminoma should be performed. Outcomes depend on patient selection and extent of surgery.
