Reducing treatment toxicities in the management of good prognosis testicular germ cell tumors.

Abstract:

:Testicular germ cell tumors are the most frequent solid tumor to affect young adult males and are increasing in incidence for reasons that are poorly understood. Increasingly, patients present with localized disease where disease-specific survival approaches 100%. Even in the presence of metastatic disease, the majority of patients with good prognostic features should expect to be cured. However, toxicities from treatment are increasingly recognized, with patients experiencing increased rates of second malignancies, cardiovascular disease and a range of circulatory, neurological and endocrine sequelae. High cure rates in a young population make reducing this long-term treatment-related morbidity and mortality imperative. In stage I disease, options following orchidectomy range from surveillance to adjuvant therapy, in the form of carboplatin or para-aortic radiotherapy for seminoma, and combination chemotherapy for nonseminoma. Metastatic disease requires combination chemotherapy with the exception of low-volume para-aortic nodal disease in seminoma, where radiotherapy with or without carboplatin may be curative. These various treatment options are discussed with a focus on reducing long-term treatment-related toxicities while preserving the high rates of long-term disease control.
