Metachronous contralateral germ cell tumor 7 years after management of testicular intraepithelial neoplasia by chemotherapy and multiple control biopsies.
We report about a metachronous germ cell tumor 7 years after chemotherapy of advanced testicular cancer and contralateral testicular intraepithelial neoplasia (TIN). Chemotherapy can not safely eradicate TIN. The safest treatment for TIN remains low dose radiation.
