Testicular Cancer Trial Results
1. Fewer CT Scans Needed after Surgery for Low-Risk, Early-Stage Testicular Cancer
(Posted: 06/28/2006, Reviewed: 04/17/2007) - During the follow-up period after surgery, two computed tomography (CT) scans were just as effective as five CT scans in detecting relapse for patients with a certain kind of low-risk, early-stage testicular cancer, according to findings presented at the 2006 meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
2. Carboplatin May Be Less Toxic Than Radiation for Seminoma
(Posted: 06/07/2004, Updated: 08/03/2005) - One shot of carboplatin appeared to be as effective as radiation therapy in treating early seminoma, a kind of testicular cancer, and also appeared safer, reducing the risk of second cancers, according to the July 23, 2005, issue of the Lancet. Further follow-up is needed to show whether the benefits continue.
