Summary
Brief summary
Recent data (Srikanthan and Tran et al. JCO 2014, in press) have demonstrated that the presence of large retroperitoneal lymph node metastases on baseline staging scans (measuring \>5cm in axial dimension) are associated with significantly increased risk of venous thromboembolism in patients receiving first line chemotherapy for disseminated germ cell tumours.

This study, a G3 collaborative effort, aims to confirm these findings in a large multi-national validation cohort.
