What is the difference between classic and Spermatocytic seminoma?

• Classic seminoma is by far the most common sub-type and usually occurs in men between the ages of 25 and 45 years. Spermatocytic seminoma comprises only around 5% of all seminomas and tends to develop in older men (around 50 years). Spermatocytic seminomas grow more slowly and are less likely to spread than classic seminoma. 2 

What is the difference between a seminoma and a non-sminoma?

• If germ cells remain immature within the testicle, they can eventually grow uncontrollably to form a seminoma or another type of testicular cancer called a non-seminoma. While seminomas and non-seminomas both occur at about the same rate, seminomas grow and spread more slowly than non-seminomas. 2 

What are the treatment options for a seminoma?

• These findings will help guide a patient's treatment plan. 9  The treatment for a seminoma involves surgery and sometimes radiation or chemotherapy. 4  Surgical removal of the testicle is the primary treatment of a seminoma. For those with stage I seminomas, surgery is usually curative.

What causes a seminoma to grow uncontrollably?

• A seminoma arises from germ cells that grow uncontrollably. Germ cells are the cells that form an embryo in a mother's womb. Later on in development, germ cells are supposed to mature into sperm-producing cells within the male testicles.
