Nachsorge von Patienten mit Hodentumoren
Michael Hartmann,Susanne Krege,Rainer Souchon,M. De Santis,Silke Gillessen,Richard Cathomas,Interdisziplinäre Arbeitsgruppe Hodentumore +6 more
TL;DR: Clear treatment recommendations for patients with testicular cancer exist and their stringent application has led to significant improvements in remission and survival rates, and active surveillance has become a cornerstone in the management of clinical stage I seminomatous and nonseminatous germ cell tumors.

Interdisciplinary Evidence-Based Recommendations for the Follow-Up of Early Stage Seminomatous Testicular Germ Cell Cancer Patients
Rainer Souchon,Michael Hartmann,Susanne Krege,Anja Lorch,Frank Mayer,Maria De Santis,Silke Gillessen,Joerg Beyer,Richard Cathomas +8 more
TL;DR: The presented recommendations for various follow-up scenarios for early stage seminoma strongly promote the restrictive use of imaging procedures that utilize ionizing radiation (especially CT), due to its potential to induce secondary malignancies.

Thymic hyperplasia following successful chemotherapy. A report of two cases and review of the literature
TL;DR: The authors have encountered this entity in two patients who were deemed disease‐free following combination chemotherapy for malignant disease, and it cannot be assumed that the development of a mediastinal mass or its persistence following chemotherapy is due to recurrent or residual disease.

Patterns of supradiaphragmatic metastases in testicular germ cell tumours
TL;DR: This study gives further supporting evidence for the relative importance of haematogenous spread in teratoma, and lymphatic spread in seminomas, and the contiguous nature of disease spread from abdomen to chest and neck in seminoma.

Chest Staging in Testis Cancer Patients: Imaging Modality Selection Based Upon Risk Assessment as Determined by Abdominal Computerized Tomography Scan Results
William A. See,Logan Hoxie +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that chest x-ray may be the preferred initial chest staging study for testis cancer patients with negative abdominal CT, while chest CT is mandated in patients with abnormal abdominal CT.

Pulmonary complications of chemotherapy regimens containing bleomycin
JP Balikian,Maxine S. Jochelson,Kenneth A. Bauer,A T Skarkin,Marc B. Garnick,George P. Canellos,E H Smith +6 more
TL;DR: Twenty patients with pulmonary complications associated with combination chemotherapy regimens containing bleomycin were studied to determine common patterns of pulmonary radiographic abnormalities and minimal lung disease was manifest as ground glass appearance at the lung bases and as fine, linear or reticulonodular densities that involved the costophrenic triangles.
