Retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy in the therapy of nonseminomatous testicular tumors
Testicular germ cell tumors occur rarely, they represent 1% of all malignant tumors in males, but they belong to the most frequent malignities in young men. They became an example of chemosensitive and curable cancer. With multimodality therapy comprising cisplatinbased combination chemotherapy and subsequent resection of residual metastatic deposits, which is universally recommended, an overall long-term disease-free status can be achieved in 80 % of patients with advanced disease.
