Alternative imaging and surveillance schedules for testicular seminoma

Prof Robert Huddart speaks to ecancer about the TRISST randomised trial which demonstrated that effective monitoring could be achieved with a reduced scan schedule or using MRI instead of computed tomography. He outlines that the risk of radiation exposure from standard CT surveillance is a major concern in the management of stage I seminoma testis patients. Health resources were costed using publicly available national unit costs. Small differences exist in total costs and total quality-adjusted life years between different strategies. A 7 scan MRI schedule yielded more health benefits than other strategies but at higher costs. Prof Huddart concludes by summarising the 3 scan MRI schedule may be the best option to replace current CT-based longer surveillance practice.
