Chapter 5
Residual mass histology in testicular germ cell cancer :
development and validation of a clinical prediction model
Abstract
After chemotherapy for metastatic non-seminomatous testicular germ cell cancer , surgical
resection is a generally accepted treatment to remove remnants of the initial metastases,
since residual tumour may still be present (mature teratoma or viable cancer cells). In this
paper, we review the development and external validation of a logistic regression model to
predict the absence of residual tumour. Three sources of information were used. A
quantitative review identified six relevant predictors from 19 published studies (996
resections). Second, a development data set included individual data of 544 patients from six
centres. This data set was used to assess the predictive relationships of five continuous
predictors, which resulted in dichotomization ...
