A discussion of the biology of testicular cancer and current concepts in the management of stage I and bilateral disease.
This case was the subject of a Grand Round Presentation at the Royal Marsden Hospital, Sutton, UK on 8 June 2004. A case of metachronous, bilateral testicular germ-cell tumours (TGCTs) arising in a patient with a family history of this disease was presented. The second primary was managed conservatively. The rationale and outcome of this approach was presented, along with a discussion of the management of early stage TGCTs and the genetics of familial and bilateral disease.
