49
Q

landmark landing zone likelihood of disease for germ cell tumors

A

A

good risk- no Non-Pulm mets; intermediate risk- non-pulmonary mets.

51
Q

toxicities of good-risk regimens for germ cell (BEPx3, EPx4)

A

more toxicity in BEP3- neurologic, and dermatologic

52
Q

CS 1-S and CS-2A with elevated/rising AFP/HCG

A

do chemo first.

53
Q

seminomas >3cm

A

give chemo BEP3/EP4, NOT RT

54
Q

CS 2A and CS2B seminoma <3cm

A

RT acceptable or EP4/BEP3

55
Q

germ cell tumor: carbo v. cis, and dose

A

DO NOT USE CARBOPLATIN; DO NOT DOSE REDUCE either platinum or etoposide! you can delay a week if needed

56
Q

intermediate and poor risk GCT

A

adding high dose chemotherapy is not necessary. you can give either BEP4 or VIPx4 (VIP has more tox- etoposide, ifosfamide,cisplatin)

57
Q

good risk GCT prognsosis,

A

> 90% with surgery, inter/high 70%

58
Q

first salvage chemo for GCT

A

VeIPx4 (vinblastine, ifos, cis), TIPx4, or standard chemo x 2–>high dose carbo/etop x 2

59
Q

3 groups of GCT in salvage setting: favorable prognosis (testis/RP primary, >6months CR before relapse)

A

can cure 60-80% with VeIPx4, TIP4 or high dose therapy with TICE (high-dose

60
Q

salvage GCT- unfavorable prognosis- late relapse , prior CR

A

give TICE (high dose).taxol, ifos, carbo, etop. 50-60% cured

61
Q

salvage GCT- absolute refractory in untreated patients

A

these pts are incurable with high dose therapy, just palliate

62
Q

surgery in germ cell tumors (non-seminomas)

A

pts ALL need surgery to ensure that there is no recurrence

63
Q

i12 or 12p amplification

A

on 100% of germ cell tumors.

64
Q

primary teratomas of testis

A

ALWAYS has malignant potential, over 50% met

65
Q

if residual nodes are >1cm following chemo with GCT

A

NEED RPLND

66
Q

if no RP at chemo start with GCT

A

no RPLND

67
Q

if RP node <1cm following chemo with GCT

A

MSKCC-RPLND, indiana, leave in place and monitor

68
Q

late relapses with GCT

A

> 2 years. mostly probable of failure to control abdomen. cure rate is lower

69
Q

growing teratoma syndrome

A

resect and continue chemo. common.

70
Q

PET/CT in GCT?

A

valuable tool only for pure seminoma, but lots of false positive

71
Q

seminoma RP dissections?

A

not done. give chemo. if >3cm residual, PET can be done, then resect if positive.

72
Q

bleomycin tox

A

reynaud’s, pulm

Q

genetics of germ cell tumors

A

iso(12) or amp of 12p–> CCND2, SOX5, JAW1, KRAS

75
Q

surgery for testicular

A

radical inguinal orichectomy, ligate spermatic cord at internal ring

76
Q

markers of seminoma

A

+PLAP, c-Kit, OCT-4, SALL4, -CK, -CD30

77
Q

markers of embryonal ca

A

CK+, CD30+ OCT-4+ SALL4+

78
Q

yolk sac tumor

A

+CK, +AFP +SALL4, -CD117(ckit), - CD30

79
Q

invasion into epidydimis/spermatic cord

A

could result in iliac LN involvment

80
Q

scrotal invasion

A

inguinal LN

81
Q

Tx stage 1 seminoma

A

i.e. LN-neg. observe. may consider para-aortic RT (morbidity tho) or 1 dose carbo.

82
Q

Tx stage IIA seminoma

A
83
Q

Tx stage IIB seminoma

A

> 5LNs or 2-5cm. RT or chemotherapy (EP x 4 or BEP x 3)

84
Q

Tx stage IIC-and up seminoma

A

good risk tx with EP x 3, if >3cm mass and normal tumor marker, get PET/CT >6wk, and surgery if positive. other wise observe

85
Q

bleo dose

A

30KU x 3= 90KU per cycle

86
Q

intermediate risk chemo

A

BEPx4

87
Q

high risk nonseminoma chemo

A

BEPx4. some studies show possible improvement of adding high dose if slow decline in tumor markers

88
Q

excess 12p material

A

correlates with response to cisplatin

89
Q

stage Ib non-seminoma treatment

A

i.e. -LN but at least 1 high risk feature, but no markers after orchiectomy–> surveillance OR RPLND, adjuvant chemo IF stage II pathologically

90
Q

stage IIA nonseminoma treatment

A

i.e. RPLND and surveillence

91
Q

stage IIB nonseminoma treatment

A

i.e. >5LN or 2-5cm–> RPLND and 2 cycles chemo. if looks like 2B before surgery, give primary chemo.

92
Q

stage IIIC non-seminoma treatment

A

i.e. >5cm. primary chemo. if incidental on RPLND, then give 3-4 cycles adjuvant chemo.
