Simultaneous vs sequential retroperitoneal, thoracic and cervical resection of post chemotherapy residual masses in patients with metastatic nonseminomatous germ cell tumors of the testis
Urology Mar 01, 2020
Nason GJ, Donahoe L, de Perrot M, et al. - This study was carried out to correlate a simultaneous vs sequential approach to residual post chemotherapy mass resections in metastatic testis cancer. Researchers conducted a retrospective review of individuals who underwent retroperitoneal and thoracic/cervical resection of post-chemotherapy residual masses between 2002 and 2018. Group 1: “Simultaneous” (Combined Retroperitoneal and Thoracic/Cervical resections on the same date); Group 2: “Sequential” (Retroperitoneal and Thoracic/Cervical resections at separate dates). They conducted 35 simultaneous and 17 sequential resections during the study period. In some individuals, simultaneous resection of retroperitoneal and thoracic/cervical post-chemotherapy metastases was found to be feasible. It needs multidisciplinary collaboration and a longer primary procedure.
