Overview
- Treatments of patients with seminoma depends on stage of seminoma, risk of recurrence, Fertility and Preferences of the individual. The majority of patients with seminoma are treated Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is helpful for all stages of seminoma. Chemotherapy is used in patients who have done orchiectomy. A combination of chemotherapy drugs is usually given. Seminoma is a radiosensitive tumor. Radiation therapy may be helpful to treat stage I or II seminomas after orchiectomy. Active surveillance is the preferred treatment for stege I seminoma after a radical inguinal orchiectomy. There are no standard active surveillance schedules for seminoma. There are no standard active surveillance schedules for seminoma.

Chemotherapy
- Chemotherapy is a common treatment for all stages of seminoma. It is usually given after an orchiectomy. A combination of chemotherapy drugs is usually given.
- BEP is the main chemotherapy combination used for seminoma. It includes bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin.
- Sometimes, physicians just give etoposide and cisplatin (called EP). EP is given when bleomycin affects the lungs (called pulmonary toxicity), or there is a high risk that it will cause lung damage.
- High-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant may be used for recurrent testicular cancer, if the standard-dose chemotherapy doesn’t work and the cancer comes back.
- High doses of carboplatin and etoposide are given. After high-dose chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant is done to replace the stem cells that are damaged or destroyed by high-dose chemotherapy. The stem cell transplant is an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant.
Radiotherapy
- Seminoma is a radiosensitive tumor (vs. nonseminomatous germ cell tumors)
- Radiation therapy may be used to treat stage I or II seminomas after orchiectomy.
- It is given as external beam radiation therapy.
- Radiation is directed at the lymph nodes in the abdomen and pelvis.
Active Surveillance
- Active surveillance is the preferred treatment for stage I seminoma after a radical inguinal orchiectomy.
- During active surveillance, the healthcare team watches for any signs and symptoms of recurrence. Treatment is given only if seminoma recurs.
- There are no standard active surveillance schedules for seminoma. Active surveillance may last for 5-10 years. You may have follow-up visits every 2-6 months for the first 3 years.
