Contemporary options and future perspectives: three examples highlighting the challenges in testicular cancer imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

One of the main issues in testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) management is to reduce the necessary amount of treatment to achieve cure. Excess treatment burden may arise from late diagnosis of the primary as well as from false positive or negative staging results. Correct imaging is of paramount importance for successful management of TGCT. The aim of this review is to point out the current state of the art as well as innovative developments in TGCT imaging on the basis of three common challenging clinical situations.

Methods

A selective literature search was performed in PubMed, Medline as well as in recent conference proceedings.

Results

Regarding small testicular lesions, recent studies using elastography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound or magnetic resonance
