Abstract:
Optimal management of testicular cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach. This paper reviews the present role of surgery at three different stages of therapy. Radical inguinal orchidectomy is the treatment of the primary tumor, retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy is an essential tool in staging and treatment of low stage non-seminomatous germ cell cancer, and cytoreductive surgery is an indispensable adjunct in post-chemotherapeutic residual masses. These surgical aspects are placed in the perspective of modern therapeutic strategies.
