ForwardWebinar: Testis Cancer: Current Concepts & Controversies (2020)
Course Director: Joel Sheinfeld, MD
This course will address the timely and accurate diagnosis of testicular cancer and emphasize the appropriate integration of pathologic, radiographic and serologic variables in assessing individual patient's risk in both low and high-stage germ cell tumors (GCT). Important features regarding the natural history of GCTs will also be emphasized.
