The indication for treatment is based on the bleeding symptoms and patient-specific factors. This article presents the current 2023 expert report that also forms the basis for the updated version of the Onkopedia guideline, which is expected in the course of 2024.

In staging for testicular germ cell tumor (GCT), current guidelines lack consensus regarding the measurement of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, concerning the recommended plane and dimension. This exploratory study aimed to assess its impact on clinical stage (cS) and therapy. We retrospectively examined 154 cSI (retroperitoneal lymph nodes < 10 mm in axial short-axis diameter (SAD)) GCT patients, without adjuvant therapy and a follow-up ≥ 24 months.

This article briefly summarizes clinically relevant new aspects of the recently published German, Austrian, and Swiss Onkopedia guideline for the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer. Main aspects comprise (i) the use of total neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancers with high-risk features, (ii) treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with a low risk for local recurrence, (iii) immunotherapy using dostarlimab in patients with MSI high/dMMR rectal cancer, as well as (iv) the implementation of organ sparing treatment concepts. The availability of several evidence-based treatment options requires intensive discussion within the multidisciplinary team as well as dedicated information for patients about treatment goals, options, and risks of individual treatment approaches.
