Summary

Testicular cancer is now highly curable, with 90% survival. However, treatments can cause long-term side effects, impacting quality of life and sexual function, necessitating careful follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Urology
  • Cancer Survivorship

Background:

  • Testicular cancer is a highly curable malignancy in young men, with over 90% long-term survival rates.
  • Despite high cure rates, significant long-term morbidity results from diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
  • Current management focuses on curative treatment but often overlooks quality of life and late toxicities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current testicular cancer treatment strategies and prognosis.
  • To analyze the long-term sequelae of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
  • To highlight the need for greater attention to quality of life and sexual function post-treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of testicular cancer management, prognosis, and long-term effects.

  • Analysis of surveillance strategies for stage I non-seminoma.
  • Evaluation of chemotherapy (BEP) and radiotherapy protocols for seminoma and non-seminoma.

    • Main Results:

    • Surveillance is key for stage I non-seminoma; relapse is manageable with BEP chemotherapy (cisplatin, etoposide, bleomycin).
    • Disseminated non-seminoma treated with BEP shows an 80% survival rate.
    • Long-term chemotherapy effects include Raynaud's phenomenon, neuropathy, hyperlipidemia, nephrotoxicity, infertility, and hormonal disturbances.
    • Surgical interventions like retroperitoneal lymph node dissection can cause ejaculatory dysfunction, though nerve-sparing techniques improve outcomes.
    • Radiotherapy for seminoma may cause temporary testicular dysfunction due to scatter radiation.

    Conclusions:

    • Testicular cancer offers high survival rates with acceptable acute toxicity.
    • Late toxicities from treatment require careful monitoring and study.
    • Quality of life, particularly sexual function, is a critical aspect of survivorship that needs more attention.
