Orchiectomy can be deferred. Respiratory distress or symptomatic brain metastases? Patient with respiratory distress Patient with symptomatic brain metastases Etoposide and Cisplatin (limit to 3 days in unstable patient) Primary chemotherapy with or without surgery if clinically indicated 1 M1b = Distant metastases other than to non-regional lymph nodes and lungs. 2 Plateau: The observed rate of decline in tumor markers should be compared to the expected serum half-lives of 5-7 days (AFP) and 2-3 days (beta-hcg). It is common to see a slower rate of decline after the second cycle of chemotherapy. A continued rate of decline that is much less than the expected half life and does not normalize should be interpreted as a plateau. The decision to stop chemotherapy should be based on clinical judgement, taking into consideration the clinical status of the patient, which of the markers are elevated, how elevated, and after ruling out potential sources of spurious elevation. Baseline pulmonary function testing Consider baseline audiometry testing Consider sperm banking Clinical trial preferred OR Bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin for 4 cycles After first cycle, continue for a minimum of 4 cycles: Clinical trial (preferred) OR Bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin OR Etoposide, ifosfamide, and cisplatin OR Paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin (Monitor pulmonary function tests for patients receiving Bleomycin) Tumor markers normalized or plateau 2?
