Abstract
The optimal management of clinical stage I testicular germ cell tumors remains controversial despite a cure rate of 99%. Alternatives for stage I nonseminomas include close surveillance, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, and chemotherapy. For pure seminomas, the options are surveillance, chemotherapy, and radiation. Understanding the pros and cons of each approach may help in choosing a management plan.Entities:
