ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: | NCT00003420 |
RATIONALE: Imaging procedures such as CT scans help the doctor in detecting cancer or the recurrence of cancer.
Increasing the number of times a CT scan is given may improve the ability to detect stage I testicular cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to determine if there is a different result from two different schedules of CT scans in treating patients with stage I testicular cancer after undergoing orchiectomy.

Study Design: | Diagnostic, Randomized, Active Control |
Official Title: | A Study of CT Scan Frequency in Patients With Stage I Testicular Teratoma |
Estimated Enrollment: | 900 |
Study Start Date: | July 1997 |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified by center and presence of vascular invasion.
After orchidectomy, patients are randomized into two schedules (arms I and II) of CT scan follow up.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: There will be 400-900 patients accrued into this study over 3-6 years.
