Overview

Common complications of seminoma include recurrence, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and secondary malignancies. Prognosis is generally good for all stages with greater than 90% cure rate. Seminoma grows slower than non-seminomatous germ cell tumors. The International Germ Cell Cancer Consensus Group divides seminoma into two prognosis groups: good and intermediate.

Natural History

Seminoma grows slower than non-seminomatous germ cell tumors.[1]

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

  • The symptoms of (disease name) usually develop in the first/ second/ third decade of life, and start with symptoms such as ___.
  • The symptoms of (disease name) typically develop ___ years after exposure to ___.
  • If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].

Complications

  • Common complications of [disease name] include:
    • [Complication 1]
    • [Complication 2]
    • [Complication 3]

Prognosis

  • Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [--]%.
  • Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
  • The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
  • [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
  • The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.

Complications

Common complications of seminoma include:[2]

Prognosis

  • Prognosis for stage I is excellent, and the survival rate of patients with seminoma for satgr I is approximately 100%.[3][4]
  • Prognosis for stage II is generally good, the 5-year mortality survival rate of patients with satge II of seminoma is approximately 97%.
  • Prognosis for stage III is generally good, the 5-year mortality survival rate of patients with satge III of seminoma is approximately 85%
