AI Article Synopsis
- Testicular tumors resembling ovarian epithelial types are uncommon, and their cause and treatment are not well-defined.
- A patient diagnosed with such a tumor had a high orchiectomy, which revealed the tumor type; an elevated CA125 level and subsequent recurrence were detected in the left inguinal area.
- Following a second surgery to remove the recurrence, the patient received a combination chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin, typical for ovarian cancer, and is currently in remission after completing five treatment cycles.
Article Abstract
Testicular tumors of ovarian epithelial types are rare, and their etiology is unknown. Moreover, a clear treatment policy has not become settled. Under the diagnosis of a testicular tumor, this patient underwent a high orchiectomy, and the pathology revealed testicular tumor of ovarian epithelial type. CA125 was elevated for three years post-operatively and a recurrence was discovered in the left inguinal region by positron emission tomography-computed tomography. Therefore, tumor extirpation was performed. The pathology result confirmed the recurrence of testicular tumor of ovarian epithelial type. After the surgery, the patient was given combined therapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin, which is a regimen of ovarian cancer, on a triweekly basis. After five courses of this therapy, the patient remains in remission.

Background: To evaluate the association of demographic and clinicopathological characteristics with the survival of patients with testicular mixed teratoma and seminoma (TMTS).
Methods: The data of 3296 eligible patients with TMTS who underwent surgery between 2010 and 2015 were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were determined using the Kaplan-Meier survival curves.

Importance: Data characterizing the severity and changing prevalence of bone mineral density (BMD) deficits and associated nonfracture consequences among childhood cancer survivors decades after treatment are lacking.
Objective: To evaluate risk for moderate and severe BMD deficits in survivors and to identify long-term consequences of BMD deficits.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study used cross-sectional and longitudinal data from the St Jude Lifetime (SJLIFE) cohort, a retrospectively constructed cohort with prospective follow-up.

Background: Testicular seminoma is the most common malignant tumor of the testis. It occurs at a rate of 5 per 100 000 men, primarily between the ages of 15 to 34. While seminomas typically occur in the testis, other primary sites include the mediastinum, the retroperitoneum, or other extra-gonadal sites.

Department of Metabolic Disease Research, Institute of Experimental Endocrinology, Biomedical Research Center, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovakia.
Background: Platinum-based chemotherapy provides curative treatment to more than 95% of patients with testicular germ cell tumor but it has negative cardiometabolic and neurological effects. Regular exercise can alleviate late chemotherapy-related toxicities. We examined the impact of a 6-month supervised aerobic-strength training on cognitive and cardiometabolic health and residual level of platinum in cancer survivors.

Pediatric Surgery Unit, Salesi Children's Hospital, Polytechnic University of Marche, Via Filippo Corridoni, 16, 60123 Ancona, Italy.
Background And Aim: Ex vivo fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) systems are innovative optical imaging tools that create virtual high-resolution histological images without any standard tissue processing, either freezing or fixing in formalin and embedding in paraffin. These systems have opened an era that would revolutionize pathological examination by providing rapid, real-time assessments across various pathology subspecialties, potentially replacing conventional methods that are tissue- and time-consuming. This study aimed to present the first utilization of FCM in pediatric surgical oncology, focusing on assessing the benefits, particularly in facilitating rapid and accurate diagnosis.
