Overview
Seminoma grows slower than non-seminomatous germ cell tumors. Common complications of seminoma include recurrence, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and secondary malignancies. Prognosis of seminoma is good for all stages with greater than 90% cure rate. The International Germ Cell Cancer Consensus Group divides seminoma into two prognosis groups: good and intermediate.
Natural History
Seminoma grows slower than non-seminomatous germ cell tumors.[1]
Complications
Common complications of seminoma include:[2]
- Recurrence
- Lymph node metastasis
- Distant metastasis
- Increased risk of seminoma in the remaining testicle
- Increased risk of other cancers (second malignancies)
Prognosis
- Prognosis for stage I is generally good, and the survival rate of patients with seminoma for satgr I is approximately 100%.
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
