Overview
Other diagnostic studies for seminoma include biopsy, FDG-PET scan, and bone scan.[1]
Other Diagnostic Studies
Biopsy
Other diagnostic studies for seminoma include biopsy. Histopathological findings on biopsy can be found here.[1]
Positron Emission Tomography
FDG-PET scan is less sensitive in initial staging of seminoma than CT. Usually, PET scan is only used following treatment of seminoma to look for any metabolic activity within residual lymphadenopathy or extranodal metastases.[2]
Bone Scan
Bone scan may be performed to detect metastases of seminoma to the bones.[3]
