Risk classification of metastatic testicular cancer[42]

Risk Status	Nonseminoma	Seminoma
Good Risk	Testicular or retroperitoneal primary tumor and No nonpulmonary visceral metastasis and Post-orchiectomy markers all of: AFP < 1,000 ng/mL hCG < 5,000 iu/L LDH 1.5 × upper limit of normal	Any primary site and No nonpulmonary visceral metastases and Normal AFP Any hCG Any LDH
Intermediate Risk	Testicular or retroperitoneal primary tumor and No nonpulmonary visceral metastasis And Post-orchiectomy markers any of: AFP 1,00 – 10,000 ng/mL hCG = 5,000 – 50,000 iu/L LDH = 1.5 – 10 × upper limit of normal	Any primary site and Nonpulmonary visceral metastases and Normal AFP Any hCG Any LDH
Poor Risk	Mediastinal primary tumor or Nonpulmonary visceral metastasis or Post-orchiectomy markers any of: AFP > 10,000 ng/mL hCG > 50,000 iu/L LDH > 10 × upper limit of normal	No poor risk classification for seminoma
