The seminoma decoy: measurement of serum human chorionic gonadotropin in patients with seminoma

J S Cochran. J Urol. 1976 Oct.

Abstract

Serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels were determined in 20 patients with histologically proved seminoma. The test was positive in 2 of the 20 patients and was predictive of non-seminomatous metastasis in each case. Serum human chorionic gonadotropin is a useful tumor marker in detecting and following non-seminomatous metastases in men with pure seminoma of the testis.
