9. Prognostic Factors
• Approximately 85% of pure seminoma is localized . Thus patients with pure
seminoma have a better prognosis than those with nonseminoma.
• For patients with seminoma tumor size (> 4 cm), rete testes invasion and vascular
invasion have been shown to be important for predicting relapse risk.
• According to the MRC staging system Retroperitoneal nodal size has been shown to
be associated with the risk of recurrence.
• for stage II seminoma the only prognostic factor described as independent prognostic
factors associatd with local recurrence is the bulk of the lymphadenopathy: Local recurrence related with size could be approximately summarized as 6% for tumor (T) < 3 cm, 18% for T = 3–6 cm, 36% for T > 6 cm.
• For non-seminomatous cancer the prognostic factors independently associated with
worse prognosis are; presence of liver, bone, or brain metastases: very high serum markers, primary mediastinal nonseminoma, and large number of lung metastases.

10. Treatment
• Men with a suspected primary testicular cancer, should be submitted to orchiectomy
to establish the histologic diagnosis and definitive treatment.
• The standard surgical procedure for orchiectomy is a radical inguinal orchiectomy.
This surgical approach is through an inguinal incision to avoid interruption of testicular lymphatics (figure-5).
• Active surveillance, adjuvant limited field radiation therapy (RT), or a short course
of adjuvant single agente carboplatin can be offered after orchiectomy for seminoma clinical stage I.
• The choice among these therapy options needs a consideration of the patient's
cooperation to comply with a surveillance program as well as to evaluate the risk and the benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy or adjuvant RT.
• Active surveillance after radical orchiectomy can be offered for patients with clinical
stage I seminoma who are willing and able to comply with an active surveillance program.

Study
Description
Fosså et al. (1999)
478 men with testicular seminoma stage I (T1 to T3; no ipsilateral inguinoscrotal
operation before orchiectomy) were randomized (PA, 236 patients; DL, 242 patients).
Median follow-up time was 4.5 years. The 3-year relapse-free survival was 96% after
PA radiotherapy and 96.6% after DL. Survival at 3 years was 99.3% for PA and 100% for DL radiotherapy.
Acute toxicity (nausea, vomiting, leukopenia) was less frequent and less pronounced
in patients in the PA arm. The sperm counts were significantly higher after PA than after DL irradiation.
Jones et al. (2005)
Patients were randomly assigned 20 Gy/10 fractions over 2 weeks or 30 Gy/15
fractions.
625 patients were randomly assigned to treatment. With a median follow-up of 61
months, 10 and 11 relapses, respectively, have been reported in the 30- and 20-Gy groups.
The absolute difference in 2-year relapse rates is 0.7%. Only one patient has died
from seminoma (allocated to the 20-Gy treatment group).
Oliver et al. (2011)
1,447 patients were randomly assigned in a 3-to-5 ratio (carboplatin, n = 573; RT, n =
904).
RFRs at 5 years were 94.7% for carboplatin and 96.0% for RT. One death as a result of seminoma (in RT arm) occurred. Patients receiving at least
99% of the 7×AUC dose had a 5-year RFR of 96.1% compared with 92.6% in those who received lower doses (P = .08).
• For patients with stage I seminoma with tumor size (> 4 cm), rete testes invasion and
vascular invasion can be treated by adjuvant radiotherapy or adjuvant chemotherapy.
• When adjuvant radiotherapy is the treatment option, radiotherapy fields including
paraaortic dranaige more than dog leg fields are recommended. In this sttings radiotherapy doses of 20 Gy should be used (table-6)

Study
Description
Classen et al. (2003)
Patients with stages IIA/B disease (Royal Marsden classification) were assessable for
the trial. Radiotherapy was delivered to para-aortic and high ipsilateral iliac lymph nodes. The total doses were 30 Gy for stage IIA and 36 Gy for stage IIB disease.
94 patients were included in that trial. Median time to follow-up was 70 months.
There were 66 stage IIA and 21 stage IIB patients.
Actuarial relapse-free survival at 6 years was 95.3% (95% confidence interval [CI],
88.9% to 100%) and 88.9% (95% CI, 74.4% to 100%) for stage IIA and IIB groups, respectively.
Maximum acute side effects were 8% grade 3 nausea for stage IIA and 10% grade 3
nausea and diarrhea for stage IIB groups. No late toxicity was observed.
Chung et al. (2004)
126 men with stage II seminoma were treated at Princess Margaret Hospital. Of
these, 95 were treated with radiotherapy (RT) and 31 with chemotherapy (ChT).
At median follow-up of 8.5 years, 10-year overall survival was 93%, the 10-year
cause-specific survival was 94% and the 10-year relapse-free rates was 85%. Patients with stage IIA and IIB disease treated with RT and stage IIB treated with chemotherapy had 5-year relapse-free rates of 91.7%, 89.7% and 83.3%, respectively.
Age, rete testis invasion and lymphovascular invasion were found not to be of
prognostic significance.
International Germ Cell Consensus
Collaborative groups from 10 countries provided clinical data on patients with
metastatic GCT treated with cisplatin-containing chemotherapy. Multivariate analyses of prognostic factors for progression and survival were performed .
Data were available on 5,202 patients with nonseminomatous GCT (NSGCT) and
660 patients with seminoma.
Median follow-up time was 5 years. For seminoma, the predominant adverse feature
was the presence of NPVM. Integration of these factors produced the following groupings: good prognosis, comprising 60% of GCT with a 91% (89% to 93%) 5­year survival rate; intermediate prognosis, comprising 26% of GCT with a 79% (75% to 83%) 5-year survival rate; and poor prognosis, comprising 14% of GCT (all with NSGCT) with a 48% (42% to 54%) 5-year survival rate.

• Low-dose RT to the paraaortic lymph nodes and superior ipsilateral pelvis (20 Gy)
followed by a small boost to the involved nodal áreas (25 Gy) is recommended for patients with stage IIA/IIB seminoma.
• Cisplatin-based polychemotherapy is an option for patients in whom RT is not
feasible or for patients with bulky stage IIB/IIC seminoma. The preferred regimen in this setting include three cycles of cisplatin, etoposide, and bleomycin (BEP) or four cycles of etoposide platinum (EP), as showed in table-7.

11. Radiotherapy Techniques
A CT scan of the abdomen is taken with the patient lying supine in the treatment position with arms by his sides. The head and legs are restrained with head rest, ankle and knee supports. Midline and lateral tattoos are used with laser lights to align the patient and prevent lateral rotation.
Patients can be planned conventionally in a simulator, or using a CT scan for virtual simulation of the fields, which gives information on the soft tissue anatomy, and position of the renal pelvis.
For stage I, the CTV includes lymph node areas at high risk of microscopic involvement i.e. para-aortic, renal hilar and retro-crural nodes bilaterally. Normal nodes are not visible on CT scans but intravenous contrast can be used to enhance renal blood vessels to help locate hilar nodes. If there has been previous scrotal surgery, the target volume also includes ipsilateral pelvic and inguinal lymph nodes (identified by contrast enhanced pelvic blood vessels).
Figure- xx a shows the “dogleg” field arrangement from the top of T11 (superior border) to the top of the obturator foramen (inferior border). Figure- 6 demonstrates the paraaortic­only field arrangement from the top of T11 (superior border) to the bottom of L5 (inferior border). Laterally, the field edge is placed at the tips of the transverse processes, which may be expanded to include the left renal hilum for left-sided tumors.
Actually 20 Gy in 10 fractions is an acceptable dose for stage I seminoma. For stage IIA and IIB the first PTV is treated with 20 Gy/10 fractions followed by a boost dose of 30-36 Gy in larger lymph nodes.
Treatment with the dogleg field and the use of testicular shield, the contralateral remaining testicle will receive about 1%–2% of the prescribed dose, which can lead to temporary reduction in spermatogenesis and fertility. About half of the patients have sub­fertile sperm counts on presentation or after surgery. Fertility usually can be restored within 2–3 years in those who were fertile before radiotherapy. In this period the patients should be advised to avoid fatherhood.

Conclusion
• Testicular cancer is a highly curable cancer of young and middle-aged men.
• The overall survival of seminoma (all stages combined) exceeds 90%, and
approaches 100% for early-stage diseases.
• Radical inguinal orchiectomy is the standard procedure for diagnosis and treatment.
• Radiation or chemotherapy is the first option for adjuvant therapy in stage I low-risk
seminoma.
• High-risk stage I seminoma (tumor ≥4 cm or Rete testis invasion) and stage IIB
• cases (nodal disease <5 cm) should be treated for radiotherapy.
• For more extensive diseases (stage IIC or higher), chemotherapy is the treatment
choice for adjuvant therapy.

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Introduction
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is considered a heterogeneous group of disease. The majority of histological subtypes are of B-cell origin, with a wide variety of clinical phenotypes. Chemotherapy is considered the mainstay for treating the majority of symptom­matic presentations.
External-beam radiation therapy is an important treatment modality for limited, localized indolent NHL, as well as in stage I and II aggressive tumors. This chapter will examine the management of indolent and aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
1. Epidemiology
• NHL occurs with increasing frequency, with approximately 60,000 new cases
annually in the United States.
• The incidence is rising dramatically for unknown reasons. NHLs are the fifth and
sixth most common malignancy in men and women, respectively.
• The increase in incidence appears to be worldwide, with incidences ranging from
approximately 2 per 100,000 per year in Asia to 19 per 100,000 per year in the United States.
• Data also suggest that the increase is greatest in the elderly and in diffuse large B-cell
lymphoma (DLBCL).
