Simultaneous Vs Sequential Retroperitoneal, Thoracic and Cervical Resection of Post Chemotherapy Residual Masses in Patients With Metastatic Nonseminomatous Germ Cell Tumors of the Testis - 04/04/20

Abstract |
Objective |
To compare a simultaneous vs sequential approach to residual post chemotherapy mass resections in metastatic testis cancer.
Methods |
A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent retroperitoneal and thoracic/cervical resection of post chemotherapy residual masses between 2002 and 2018. Group 1: “Simultaneous” (Combined Retroperitoneal and Thoracic/Cervical resections on the same date); Group 2: “Sequential” (Retroperitoneal and Thoracic/Cervical resections at separate dates).
Results |
During the study period, 35 simultaneous and 17 sequential resections were performed. The median age at surgery was 28 years (Range 16-61). The median follow-up from last surgical procedure was 62.7 months (Range 0.4-194). Histology revealed teratoma in 38 (73.1%) patients, necrosis in 8 (15.4%) and viable tumor in 6 (11.5%). Discordant pathology findings between thoracic/cervical and abdominal resections were noted in 16 (30.8%) patients.
No differences were observed between the simultaneous vs sequential groups in median operating time (585 minutes vs 545 minutes, P = .64), blood loss (1300 vs 1300 mls, P = .42), or length of stay (9 vs 11 days, P = .14). There was no difference between the 5-year (65.7% vs 68.6%) relapse-free survival between the 2 groups (P = .84) or the 5-year (88.6% vs 100%) overall and disease-specific survival (P = .25).
Conclusion |
Simultaneous resection of retroperitoneal and thoracic/cervical post chemotherapy metastases is a feasible in some patients. It requires multidisciplinary collaboration and a longer primary procedure.
