Methods: Four patients (age 18–26 years) undergoing retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) for cystic residual masses resulting from chemotherapy of bulky retroperitoneal GCT had measurements of miR-371 in both serum and cystic fluid aspirated...

... with primary extragonadal tumor site]; relapse, n = 5 [1 with previously stage III seminoma]). One patient died of progressive disease 3 months after treatment with chemotherapy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) which had led initially to a complete clinical response. Another patient (62 years...

... are suspected to contain active tumour tissue as well as mature teratoma. Therefore, a delayed retroperitoneal lymph node dissection remains necessary. A total of 123 patients with advanced non-seminomatous germ cell cancer underwent retroperitoneal surgery after two different regimes of cisplatin-based...

...). Of the treatments performed, 52 were orchiectomies and 2 were enucleations (unfavorable pathology in only 2 tumors). There were 5 lymphadenectomies (retroperitoneal lymph node dissections): 2 for suspected stage II disease and 1 each for unfavorable pathology, bilateral disease and associated Sertoli tumor...

... to the rarity of this neoplasm (less than 10 cases have been reported), there is no unanimous consensus for therapy following inguinal orchiectomy. We believe that nerve-sparing retroperitoneal lymph node dissection could be potentially curative and useful for future interpretations of this tumor’s potential...
