First seen May 28, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a surgery called retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) can be used as the first treatment for testicular seminoma that has spread to lymph nodes in the belly (1-3 cm). The goal is to avoid long-term side effects from chemotherapy or radiation, such as second cancers or heart disease. About 55 men with stage I or II seminoma will take part.
