Abstract

Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy in young males. There are two common types of testicular cancer—seminoma and non-seminoma—which have different biology and often treated with surgery and chemotherapy. FDG PET/CT is more useful in seminomas, and recommended by current contemporary guidelines for the restaging of residual masses >3cm. FDG PET/CT also has the greatest management impact in seminomas, particularly for clinical surveillance, post-therapy assessment and suspected relapse.
