Background And Objective: Optimal treatment outcomes in patients with metastatic nonseminoma testicular cancer are achieved with chemotherapy and subsequent surgery in cases with residual tumor. In Denmark, postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lumpectomy (RPLP) is performed in patients with residual tumors >1 cm. There is a need to clarify whether this surgical method provides acceptable treatment results.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFTesticular cancer is the most frequent solid tumour in young men and accounts for 1% of newly diagnosed malignant tumours. Tumours are divided into seminomas and non-seminomas. Approximately 50% of patients are cured by orchiectomy alone, while the other half in addition will need chemotherapy or radiotherapy for metastatic disease.

Methods: Patients undergoing adrenal metastasectomy between 2000 and 2018 were identified in the Danish National Pathology Registry.
Introduction: Post-chemotherapy surgery constitutes an integral part of the management of patients with non-seminomatous germ-cell tumours with a residual mass in the retroperitoneum. Published data on recurrence rates and complications to bilateral retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND), unilateral template RPLND, and resection of residual mass only according to different surgical techniques (open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgery) were reviewed.
Material And Methods: PubMed/Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane databases were searched systematically.
The role of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is still debated in patients with N3 stage penile cancer. In Denmark this subgroup of patients is in general managed with an inguinal lymphadenectomy (ILND) and adjuvant chemoradiation and PLND is not offered as a standard. The objective of this study was to report treatment outcomes of this regimen and compare this with existing literature.

It has shown to be more reproducible than conventional pressure measurement. Recently, it has been tested in the anal canal and the prostatic urethra.

In the 1980s and 1990s, a method for direct measurement of pressure and cross-sectional area in women and men was developed. It was successful in terms of obtaining meaningful results in several studies. But the technique, which was based on the field gradient principle, was never implemented in the clinical setting because of technical limitations.
