abstract = "The role of retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) as first-line treatment for stage I or IIA/B testicular seminoma is not well defined. Using the National Cancer Data Base, we identified 365 men from 2004 to 2014 who received RPLND as primary treatment for testicular seminoma and found 5-year overall survival rates of 97.3% and 92.0% for those with stage I and IIA/B disease, respectively.",

Funding Information: The National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) is a national hospital-based registry sponsored by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer and the American Cancer Society. Programs accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer report cancers diagnosed or treated in their facilities. The NCDB includes more than 1500 hospital-based programs and approximately 70% of all newly diagnosed cases of cancer in the United States. 24 The database contains sociodemographic information as well as individual diagnosis and treatment information, such as American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) T, N, and M stages, scope of regional LN surgery, chemotherapy receipt, and timing of systemic treatment relative to surgery.
