seminoma vs. non-seminoma

06-29-06, 08:12 AM

Since posting here and seeing the few that were bi-lateral candidates is it safe to say that most of those are seminoma cases. is there any info that would present that most bi-lateral cases are of seminoma and not non-seminoma?

thanks, brian!!

Mark Kantrowitz posted on TC-NET just yesterday that "contralateral TC seems to be disproportionately seminoma."

right inguinal orchiectomy 6/5/2003 > nonseminoma, stage I > surveillance > L-RPLND 6/24/2005 for recurrence, suspected teratoma but found seminoma, stage II > chylous ascites until 9/2005 > surveillance and "all clear" since
