Oncological Follow-up Strategies for Testicular Germ Cell Tumours: A Narrative Review
2022, European Urology Open ScienceCitation Excerpt :The difference in chest imaging between the SWENOTECA protocols (no chest imaging) and the Toronto group (five chest CTs) during follow-up is remarkable [25]. As with stage I seminoma, isolated pelvic metastases with stage I nonseminoma are rare, and some authors have thus suggested omitting a pelvic scan, which would decrease cumulative radiation exposure [5,10,12,13]. However, the question of whether the pelvis should be included in scans may become less relevant if MRI is used instead of CT.

2016, European Journal of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :The study by Mason et al. showed that men with bulky abdominal lymphadenopathy and those with a history of testicular maldescent or orchiodopexy were significantly more likely to develop inguinal or iliac lymphadenopathy [14]. White et al. found that bulky abdominal lymphadenopathy and extra-testicular extension of the primary tumor both predicted the development of pelvic metastases [6]. However, similar to ours, neither study defined a subset of patients for whom the risk of missing isolated pelvic metastases was sufficiently low enough to omit scanning the pelvis routinely.
