Consensus Classification

14625 Background: The IGCCC is the internationally accepted, clinically based, prognostic classification used to aid in the management of GCT. The goal of this study was to determine if the IGCCC is applicable to a population based cohort. Methods: A retrospective chart review of all patients diagnosed with GCT in NS between 1984–2004 was completed, and IGCCC classification (good, intermediate, poor) was assigned to each patient based on the site of the primary lesion, the presence or absence of non-pulmonary visceral metastases and pre-chemotherapy tumor marker values. Kaplan-Meier estimates of five year progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated for each IGCCC group, for both non-seminomatous GCT and seminomatous GCT. Results: The distribution, PFS and OS are shown below. Conclusions: The IGCCC seems applicable to a population-based cohort, with similar distribution of categories, as well as clear prognostic ability. This project was funded by a Norah Stephen Oncology Scholars Summer Studentship Grant from Cancer Care Nova Scotia. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]
