Abstract:
:Clinical stage I seminomas are effectively treated with surgery raising concerns as to when to give adjuvant radiation therapy given the risk of secondary malignancies. A recent randomized trial found tumor size and rete testis invasion to be the strongest predictors of relapse in clinical stage I seminomas. These 2 parameters may be surrogate measures of tumor volume. Intertubular seminoma (ITS) of the testis describes the presence of neoplastic germ cells within the interstitium of the testis. These cells are detected away from the main macroscopic mass. Because ITS can infiltrate in a 3-dimensional fashion, it may also represent a measure of tumor volume not usually noted in standard pathology reporting. The goal of this study was to determine the incidence of ITS in pure seminomas and its association with other prognostic parameters. One hundred twenty consecutive pure seminomas surgically removed between 1998 and 2003 were evaluated. ITS was defined as the presence of an interstitial or intertubular growth pattern of tumor cells, which was noncontiguous with the main tumor and present at least 3 high-power fields away from the tumor mass. The average tumor size was 3.4 cm. Of the entire cohort of patients, which included pathological stages T1 through T3, 11% had invasion through the tunica albuginea, 51% had rete testis invasion, 51% had lymphovascular invasion, 93% had associated intratubular germ-cell neoplasia, and 36% had ITS. ITS was significantly associated with rete testis invasion ( P = .001). Logistic regression analysis looking at ITS, tumor size, patient age, and lymphovascular invasion revealed that only ITS was associated with rete testis invasion (RR, 4.1, P < .0001). ITS is present in a significant proportion of pure seminomas and has a significant association with rete testis invasion. The presence of ITS may therefore be an important prognostic factor, not only because it alters the calculated size of the tumor but also because it has an association with rete testis invasion.
