Zusammenfassung

Die Tumorstadien IIC und III klassifizieren die fortgeschrittenen Hodentumoren. Ihre Therapie erfolgt stadiengerecht nach der IGCCCG Klassifikation, die drei Prognosegruppen (gute, intermediäre und schlechte Prognosegruppe) unterscheidet. Ihre Behandlung gehört zur Erfolgsgeschichte der Onkologie, denn selbst in fortgeschrittenen Tumorstadien sind hohe Heilungsraten möglich. Grundlage dieses Erfolges bildet vor Allem die cisplatinbasierte Chemotherapie. Abhängig von der Prognosegruppe werden drei bis vier Zyklen Chemotherapie appliziert. Dabei nimmt das Chemotherapie Schemata PEB die bedeutendste Rolle ein. Insbesondere bei Patienten der intermediären Prognosegruppe zielen derzeitige Therapiestrategien aktuell auf ein risikoadaptiertes Vorgehen, um die erreichten Behandlungserfolge bei gleichzeitiger Minimierung von Nebenwirkungen zu optimieren. Patienten der schlechten Prognosegruppe haben jedoch trotz Cisplatin-basierter Kombinationschemotherapie eine unbefriedigende Heilungschance. Innerhalb dieser Prognosegruppe konnten in den vergangenen Jahren mehrere Ausnahmepopulationen identifiziert werden, die von einer Therapieintensivierung profitieren könnten.
