We compared the American Urological Association and the European Association of Urology guidelines on testicular cancer. We identified a few differences, in particular for management of low-volume metastatic serum tumor marker-negative stage IIA/B seminoma and nonseminoma, and of advanced and relapsing disease. Overall the rate of concordance between the guidelines is high. PATIENT SUMMARY: We compared guidelines on testicular cancer published by the American Urological Association and the European Association of Urology.
