Is high cord radical orchidectomy always necessary for testicular cancer?
The trend suggests that there is no statistically significant difference in the rate of relapse and mortality between high and low cord orchidectomy for clinically stage 1 tumours. We would, therefore, advocate either a high or low cord orchidectomy for clinically stage 1 tumours.
Testicular tissue cryopreservation in KS adolescents should be recommended as soon as possible, probably before hormonal changes of failing Sertoli cell function are detected.
