[Testicular tumours from a clinical point of view : What urologists and oncologists need to know from the pathologist about testicular cancer].

ABSTRACT:

Background

Testicular germ cell tumours (GCTs) are the most frequent solid malignancy in younger males aged 15-40. The differentiation between seminomas and non-seminomas impacts prognosis, clinical management and follow-up procedures. With stage- and risk-adapted multimodal treatment approaches, GCTs have an exceptionally good prognosis. Therefore, avoiding overtreatment to reduce treatment-related long-term side effects is of utmost importance. Clinical and histopathological risk factors aid in treatment decision-making.

Objectives

Discussion of (histo-)pathological characteristics that directly influence treatment decision-making by urologists and oncologists.

Materials and methods

Non-systematic literature review to describe histopathological features for interdis
