| | Two-thirds relapsed in the retroperitoneum despite the fact that three-quarters had received platinum-based therapy and the message here was in a subset of patients effective chemotherapy will not compensate for suboptimal surgery. | | | The predominant histology is embryonal carcinoma but very importantly 20 percent of these patients have teratoma in the retroperitoneum and that has not changed. | | | Unfortunately, late relapse has emerged as a very significant problem in testis cancer, and the retroperitoneum is the most common site for this problem. |

| | For tumors of the retroperitoneum, trunk, and head and neck, surgical resection with preoperative and/or postoperative radiation therapy, and sometimes chemotherapy, may be used. | | | If the tumor is unresectable, high-dose preoperative radiation therapy may be used, followed by surgical resection and postoperative radiation therapy. | | | Complete surgical resection is often difficult for sarcomas of the retroperitoneum due to large size before detection and anatomic location. |
