A case of disseminated testicular cancer relapsing after 6 and 8 yr is reported, and the literature on late relapses is reviewed. About 4% of potentially cured testicular cancer patients do relapse after two or more years. Early detection is important and we recommend an indefinite follow-up, because salvage therapy can be effective when the extent of disease is limited.
报告了1例睾丸癌播散性复发患者，分别于6年和8年后复发，并对有关晚期复发的文献进行了综述。约4%的潜在治愈性睾丸癌患者会在两年或更长时间后复发。早期检测很重要，我们建议进行无限期随访，因为当疾病范围有限时，挽救性治疗可能有效。
