The current literature regarding clinical stage (CS) I pure teratoma is sparse with only a few non-contemporary case series. Following radical orchiectomy, active surveillance (AS) and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) are acceptable management options; however, there is no uniform consensus. The purpose of this study was to investigate the outcomes of patients with CS I pure testicular teratoma based on management strategy. METHODS: Data was extracted from the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) from testicular cancer patients with CS I (pT1-4N0M0S0) pure teratoma from 2004-2014. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression analyses were used to assess the overall survival (OS) of patients who were managed with AS vs. primary RPLND. RESULTS: Of the 61,167 patients diagnosed with testicular cancer, 692 (1.1%) had pure teratoma. Only individuals with CS I disease were considered (n = 237). The median age was 28 (23-35) years. Overall, 43 (18%) patients underwent RPLND and 194 (82%) patients were managed with AS. There was an increase in AS for CS I teratoma from 2004 to 2014. Increasing distance from residence to treatment facility was an unadjusted predictor for undergoing primary RPLND (OR 7.26, CI 2.84-18.55, p <0.001). Median follow-up was 54 months and there was no significant difference in OS between patients managed with AS vs. RPLND (p = 0.13). CONCLUSIONS: Adults with early stage pure testicular teratoma have excellent outcomes regardless of management strategy. The majority of patients are managed with AS while primary RPLND rates have declined in recent years.
