The article provides a summary of the epidemiologic and clinical aspects of testicular malignancy. Current standard imaging and novel techniques are reviewed. Present data and clinical treatment trends have favored surveillance protocols over adjuvant radiation or chemotherapy for low-stage testicular malignancy. This has resulted in increasing numbers of imaging studies and the potential for increased long-term exposure risks. Understanding imaging associated risks as well as strategies to minimize these risks is of increasing importance. The development, validation and incorporation of alternative lower risk highly efficacious and cost-effective imaging techniques is essential.
本文提供了睾丸恶性肿瘤的流行病学和临床方面的概述。回顾了当前的标准成像和新技术。目前的数据和临床治疗趋势倾向于对低分期睾丸恶性肿瘤采用监测方案而非辅助放疗或化疗。这导致了影像学研究数量的增加以及长期暴露风险增加的可能性。了解与成像相关的风险以及将这些风险降至最低的策略变得越来越重要。开发、验证并纳入替代性低风险、高效且具有成本效益的成像技术至关重要。
