At the present time, serum determinations of alpha fetoprotein and beta-HCG are the most useful markers in the management of germ-cell testis tumors. Serial determinations are vital to the monitoring of the response of the patient's tumor to therapy. Subsequent elevation of tumor markers is often the first evidence of recurrence of tumor and allows effective treatment to be instigated while the volume of recurrent tumor is extremely low. This markedly increases the likelihood of achieving complete remissions.
目前，血清甲胎蛋白和β - 人绒毛膜促性腺激素测定是生殖细胞睾丸肿瘤管理中最有用的标志物。连续测定对于监测患者肿瘤对治疗的反应至关重要。肿瘤标志物随后升高往往是肿瘤复发的首个证据，并且能在复发肿瘤体积极小的时候促使开展有效治疗。这显著增加了实现完全缓解的可能性。
