BACKGROUND: Primary intracranial germ cell tumors (iGCTs) are highly malignant brain tumors that predominantly occur in children and adolescents, with an incidence rate ranking third among primary brain tumors in East Asia (8%-15%). Due to their insi...
BACKGROUND: The pretherapeutic differentiation of subtypes of primary intracranial germ cell tumours (iGCTs), including germinomas (GEs) and nongerminomatous germ cell tumours (NGGCTs), is essential for clinical practice because of distinct treatment...
BACKGROUND: Differentiating seminomas from nonseminomas is crucial for formulating optimal treatment strategies for testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs). Therefore, our study aimed to develop and validate a clinical-radiomics model for this purpose.
Robotic assisted (RA) retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) has grown in popularity as it offers decreased morbidity and faster recovery compared to the open technique. Proponents of open surgery raised concerns about the oncological fidelity...
For patients with testicular tumors who need the surgical management, open retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (O-RPLND) is considered the gold standard treatment. However, recently, robot-assisted RPLND (R-RPLND) has gained popularity as a minimal...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and early oncologic outcomes after post-chemotherapy robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RARPLND) for metastatic germ cell tumors (mGCT).
OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (R-RPLND) and to compare the perioperative outcomes of R-RPLND with open RPLND (O-RPLND), as RPLND forms an integral part of the management of tes...
