Therapy of testicular cancer: a surgeon's view.
Treatment for metastatic testicular cancer has generally met greatest success when it has involved platinum-based chemotherapy and this is widely used for metastatic disease in most centers. However, surgical techniques should not be excluded. Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection has enabled a high cure rate to be achieved when used in conjunction with chemotherapy in patients with more advanced stage cancers.
