Testicular cancer is a rare cancer that often affects young and otherwise healthy patients. Imaging plays a critical role in the staging and surveillance of patients with testicular cancer. Indeterminate findings on staging or surveillance imaging, can lead to challenging management decisions for clinicians and patients. In this article, we review the importance of short-interval, repeat imaging for several scenarios faced by patients with testicular cancer and their clinicians. The challenging scenarios and recommendations provided in this article summarize the discussion from the inaugural Global Society of Rare Genitourinary Tumors (GSRGT) Summit held on December 11-12, 2020.

Abstract
Testicular cancer is a rare cancer that often affects young and otherwise healthy patients. Imaging plays a critical role in the staging and surveillance of patients with testicular cancer. Indeterminate findings on staging or surveillance imaging, can lead to challenging management decisions for clinicians and patients. In this article, we review the importance of short-interval, repeat imaging for several scenarios faced by patients with testicular cancer and their clinicians. The challenging scenarios and recommendations provided in this article summarize the discussion from the inaugural Global Society of Rare Genitourinary Tumors (GSRGT) Summit held on December 11-12, 2020.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
