Brief Title: Role of Axumin PET Scan in Germ Cell Tumor
Official Title: Anti-1-amino-3-18F-flurocyclobutane-1-carboxylic Acid (Axumin) Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Prior to Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection for Testicular Cancer
Study ID: NCT03426865
Brief Summary: Investigators will use Axumin PET/CT to help with the imaging modalities to determine the presence of occult retroperitoneal disease.
Detailed Description: Investigators aim to perform a prospective study of anti-18F-FACBC PET/CT in patients with NSGCT prior to RPLND, either in the primary setting or in the post-chemotherapy setting. We will correlate histopathologic outcomes from the RPLND specimen and clinical outcomes of recurrence during follow-up to identify the accuracy of anti-18F-FACBC PET/CT in these settings.
