In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this prospective observational study is to learn about the short- and long-term effects of treating men over the age of 18 with good prognosis metastatic testicular cancer with either primary retropertioneal lymph node dissection, RPLND, (for low-stage metastastic seminoma) or three doses of chemotherapy for metastastic seminoma or nonseminoma. The main question it aims to answer is: Does primary RPLND lower the risk of side-effects compared to receiving chemotherapy?
