Tumor markers in testicular cancer
Urol Clin North Am.
1979 Oct.
Abstract
The tumor markers alpha-fetoprotein and human chorionic gonadotropin have proved to be useful in staging disease in patients with testicular carcinomas. Moreover, their detection has often had a bearing on the therapeutic regimen selected. The nature and value of these tumor markers are discussed in detail, and other potentially useful oncofetal gene products are reviewed.
