Summary

This study compares two chemotherapy approaches for men with stage I seminoma testicular cancer who have a higher risk of the cancer coming back. One group gets a single course of carboplatin, the current standard, while the other gets a stronger combination of three drugs (BEP). The goal is to see if BEP lowers the relapse rate more effectively and to check how each treatment affects quality of life and side effects. About 348 men aged 18 to 59 with tumors larger than 4 cm or invasion of the rete testis are taking part.
