Despite the widely increasing use of PET/CT for all cancers, the clinical role of this imaging modality in germ cell testicular cancer (GCTC) is still unclear, since controversial results have been achieved by previous studies and few large trials have investigated its potential application in this setting. In this review, we discuss the current state of the art of PET/CT exploring its role in the diagnostic and prognostic work-up in all phases of disease in GCTC and the potential application of new radiopharmaceuticals tracers.

Abstract
Despite the widely increasing use of PET/CT for all cancers, the clinical role of this imaging modality in germ cell testicular cancer (GCTC) is still unclear, since controversial results have been achieved by previous studies and few large trials have investigated its potential application in this setting. In this review, we discuss the current state of the art of PET/CT exploring its role in the diagnostic and prognostic work-up in all phases of disease in GCTC and the potential application of new radiopharmaceuticals tracers.
