For those newly diagnosed with questions about the direction your treatment might be heading, soemone gave me this link. Though treatment plans vary, mine followed these guidelines (NCCN). I took this in for my appointments and asked my physician to help fill in the blanks. See attached for what it's worth.

A new version! I referred to the previous edition frequently, but this one was published 10/24/2005. Thanks for posting it, Brian.Highlights of major changes in the 2006 version of the Testicular Cancer guidelines from the 2005 version include:- For Stage I seminoma the RT dosage was changed to 20-30 Gy.
- Adjuvant RT to ipsilateral ileoinguinal nodes was added as a consderation for patients with metastatic lymph node risk factors.
- For Stage II seminoma, progressive disease was moved to an option after CT scan rather than after determination that PET scan is not feasible.
