Patients with testicular cancer were treated by semicastratio and in some cases by retroperitoneal surgery. The diminution of testicular parenchyma to about 50% results to a low serum level of testosterone, but elevated serum level of LH and FSH. 3 years after surgery and irradiation this is not a pathological finding but appears to be a typical pattern. As it is difficult to differentiate embryonal carcinomas and choriocarcinomas from pure embryonal carcinomas an estimation of serum level of LH and FSH may be of use by the diagnosis.
睾丸癌患者接受了半侧睾丸切除术治疗，部分患者还接受了腹膜后手术。睾丸实质减少至约50%会导致血清睾酮水平降低，但促黄体生成素（LH）和促卵泡生成素（FSH）的血清水平升高。手术和放疗3年后，这并非病理表现，而是一种典型模式。由于难以将胚胎癌和绒毛膜癌与纯胚胎癌区分开来，测定LH和FSH的血清水平可能有助于诊断。
