Positron Emission Tomography and Clinical Predictors of Survival in Primary Extragonadal Germ Cell Tumors

Original language description

Primary extragonadal germ cell tumors (EGTs) are an uncommon malignancy accounting for 2?4% of all germ cell neoplasms in adult males. Their prognosis is worse than that for testicular germ cell tumors because of their relative chemoresistance and frequent presentation with widely disseminated metastases. We have studied the role of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) for outcome prediction of patients with EGTs. Patients and Methods: We have retrospectively analysed 36 men with germ cell tumors originating in the mediastinum or the retroperitoneum. All patients were treated between 1994 and 2010. Negative result of testicular ultrasonographic examination and/or testicular biopsy was required for diagnosis of EGT. Platinum-based systemic therapy was used in all cases, and resectable residual tumor masses were removed surgically. Results: Overall survival at one and three years was 81% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 68?94%) and 55% (CI: 38?71%), respectively.
