Interdisciplinary Evidence-Based Recommendations for the Follow-Up of Early Stage Seminomatous Testicular Germ Cell Cancer Patients

Abstract: Considering lifelong cure rates of up to 99% for patients treated for seminoma CS I-IIA/B, the negative impact of unnecessary ionizing radiation exposure has to be considered. The presented recommendations for various follow-up scenarios for early stage seminoma strongly promote the restrictive use of imaging procedures that utilize ionizing radiation (especially CT), due to its potential to induce secondary malignancies.

“…Our results confirm that survival for testicular cancer has improved significantly since the 1970s, with 10- year cancer-specific survival now reaching 97%. This improvement can be ascribed to improvements in treatment, particularly with the advent of cisplatin and well defined management recommendations for the disease [1214]. Survival rates are clearly associated with stage at diagnosis and morphology.…”

“…[17]. Angelehnt an diese Arbeit sowie an die Arbeiten von Hartmann et al und Souchon et al [13,27] wurden auch in der deutschen S3-Leitlinie zur Behandlung von Keimzelltumoren kürzlich die Behandlungsempfehlungen formuliert [20]. Vor dem Hintergrund, dass je durchgeführter Therapie auch das Rezidivmuster variieren kann, wurden die in .…”

“…Bei Tumormarkernegativität und Normalbefund in der Bildgebung schließt sich eine Nachsorge unter Berücksichtigung der eingesetzten Therapiemodalitäten und differierender Profile therapieassoziierter Spätfolgen an. Dazu sind in den letzten Jahren strukturierte Nachsorgeempfehlungen erarbeitet worden (Souchon et al 2011). Kleine lymphonodale Residuen müssen nicht weiter abgeklärt werden, solange die Tumormarker auch negativ bleiben.…”
