This study reviews 20 years of experience in removing lymph nodes in the abdomen (RPLND) for testicular cancer. It aims to understand the outcomes of this surgery for people who had it after chemotherapy or for early-stage cancer.
This study compares two standard treatments—surgery to remove lymph nodes in the abdomen (RPLND) versus chemotherapy—for men with testicular cancer that has spread to a small area in the abdomen. The goal is to see which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
This study looks at how people should be followed after treatment for testicular cancer (surgery and, for some, chemotherapy). It may help improve follow-up plans while keeping an eye out for cancer coming back.
This trial looks at why some people develop leg swelling (lymphedema) and frequent nighttime urination (nocturia) after pelvic lymph node surgery for prostate or bladder cancer. It may help doctors better predict and manage these side effects after the operation.
This study looks at swelling caused by lymph fluid buildup after urinary (urologic) surgery that removes lymph nodes. If you’re scheduled for or recently had this type of surgery, this trial may help researchers understand how to prevent or treat this swelling.
