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 excellent, and the survival rate of patients with seminoma for satgr I is approximately 100%.[3]
- Prognosis for stage II is generally good, the 5-year mortality survival rate of patients with satge II of seminoma is approximately 97%.
- Prognosis for stage III is generally good, the 5-year mortality survival rate of patients with satge II of seminoma is approximately 85%
