In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of using robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (R-RPLND), a minimally invasive surgical approach, as the first-line of treatment for stage IIA/B (or equivalent) seminoma patients. R-RPLND will be trialed as an alternative to chemotherapy, radiation therapy (for seminoma patients) and open RPLND in this study.
