# Salvage En Bloc Resection for Refractory Recurrent Pure Testicular Seminoma: A Case Report

## TL;DR

A patient with a rare, hard-to-treat testicular cancer was successfully treated with radical surgery.

## Contribution

This case demonstrates the effectiveness of radical surgery in treating refractory testicular seminoma.

## Key findings

- Radical surgery can be a successful treatment for refractory testicular seminoma.
- Patients with cisplatin-refractory germ cell tumors may benefit from radical surgical approaches.

## Abstract

Treating recurrent or cisplatin‐refractory germ cell tumors remains a clinically problematic situation. Although testicular cancer has a good overall cure rate, some patients with metastatic GCTs who did not respond to initial treatments have few therapeutic alternatives and face significant fatality rates. This case showed the successful implementation of radical surgery for patients with refractory seminoma in clinical practice.
