Understanding Testicular Cancer: A MUST for the Medical Oncologist Jorge A. Garcia, MD., FACP. Associate Professor Medicine Director, Advanced Prostate Cancer Program Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute Glickman Urological & Kidney Institute Medellin, Colombia
Slide 2-

Case presentation (1) 23 y.o. man presented with right testicular swelling x 3 months; u/s revealed heterogenous mass; serum tumor markers: B-HCG nl, LDH nl, AFP 13.2. What do you do now?
Slide 3-

Case presentation (2) Pt. taken immediately to right radical inguinal orchiectomy Path = non-seminomatous GCT with 20% embryonal, no LV invasion, confined to testicle (T1) Serum tumor markers post-surgery nl with appropriate AFP decline. What is the next step in his management?
Slide 4-

Case presentation (3) CT scan a/p negative for lymphadenopathy; CXR negative Pt. present for opinion about further therapy. What is your recommendation now??

Not all Testis Cancers are the same Early Seminoma No AFP Spurious elevations of HCG Path must have 100% + seminoma cells Radiotherapy or chemotherapy (recently)

Not all Testis Cancers are the same Non-Seminoma Any serum marker Path could be mixed Observation of RPLND

Acute and Long-term AEs in Adjuvant Chemo Trials Hematologic: G3 leukopenia (3.5%, 18%, 24%); no other significant toxicity GI: G3 emesis (27%, 13%); G2 Alopecia and G1Tinitus -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fertility: no change in pre- vs. post-sperm density/motility in two studies; 2 others with 1-2 pts. with azoospermia (not different than controls in one study) Lung function: no change in PFTs in 2 studies Audiometry: high-tone hearing loss (12%, 5%) No 11q23 (etoposide-induced) AML reported
Slide 13-

Observation/surveillance 15% risk of occult disease Radiotherapy Chemotherapy with Carboplatin (only scenario where this agent is accepted in testis cancer) Treatment Options for Stage I Seminoma
Slide 14-

The Argument for Carboplatin for Stage I Seminoma Carboplatin is the most effective way to prevent relapse Carboplatin is associated with minimal acute toxicity Radiation therapy is associated with unacceptable late toxicity The risk of late complications from single agent carboplatin is hypothetical whereas the risk of late complications from radiation therapy is well documented Carboplatin appears to reduce the risk of second primary germ cell tumors

Stage I Seminomas: Outcomes in published reports
Slide 16-

EORTC/MRC Randomized Controlled Trial: Single Dose of Carboplatin vs. Radiation RT Oliver, Lancet, 2005;366:293
Slide 17-

EORTC/MRC Trial: 1 cycle Carboplatin v. Radiation: Relapse-Free Survival RT Oliver, Lancet, 2005;366:293

False Arguments Against Carboplatin Claim: Relapses after radiation are above the diaphragm so surveillance CT scans are not needed Fact: In the RT vs. Carbo trial, 41% of relapses in the RT arm were below the diaphragm In the two large RCTs of radiation for seminoma, two thirds of relapses presented with disease below the diaphragm

The latest relapse after 2 cycles carbo was at 28 months
Slide 27-

False Arguments Against Carboplatin Claim: Carboplatin isn’t good enough for GCTs – cisplatin is needed Fact: Disease specific survival is between 99.9% and 100%. Two cycles of carboplatin results in a relapse rate of 2%

False Arguments Against Carboplatin Claim: Carboplatin isn’t good enough for GCTs – cisplatin is needed Fact: Disease specific survival is between 99.9% and 100%. Two cycles of carboplatin results in a relapse rate of 2% Claim: Carboplatin causes secondary malignancies. Fact: Carboplatin has been associated with secondary leukemias in women treated for ovarian cancer but not at the doses used for seminoma.

Fact: Carboplatin has been associated with secondary leukemiasin women treated for ovarian cancer but not at the doses used for seminoma. Claim: Modern radiation is safe Fact: We have no long-term follow-up data on modern radiation
Slide 30-

Summary: Radiation Therapy Radiation therapy has been proven to result in substantial late morbidity and mortality The long-term safety of current radiation therapy which uses lower doses and smaller fields remains unproven The switch to lower doses and small radiation fields has resulted in more infra-diaphragmatic relapses after radiation
Slide 31-

Summary: Carboplatin Single-Agent Carboplatin is very well tolerated Two cycles of single-agent carboplatin has resulted in the lowest published relapse rates for stage I seminoma One cycle of carboplatin results in equivalent relapse rates to radiation therapy With over 1200 patients treated with carboplatin in published reports, only one unsalvageable relapse has been reported Whether or not single-agent carboplatin causes any significant late morbidity or mortality remains unknown
