The Authors show three cases of mediastinal seminoma, and discuss the epidemiologic, etiopathogenetic and clinical aspects of such neoplasms; they dwell upon the criteria allowing to define as primitive an extragonadal germinal tumour, and emphasize the importance of the multidisciplinary therapeutical approach in controlling these neoplasms, characterized anyhow in the pure forms by a remarkable sensitiveness to radium; promising looks the use of the tumoral markers (beta-HCG and AFP) for a diagnostical specification, for the choice of the treatment and for the evaluation of its effects.
作者展示了三例纵隔精原细胞瘤病例，并讨论了此类肿瘤的流行病学、病因发病机制和临床方面；他们详述了将性腺外生殖细胞瘤定义为原发性肿瘤的标准，并强调多学科治疗方法在控制这些肿瘤中的重要性，无论如何，这些肿瘤的纯形式对镭具有显著的敏感性；肿瘤标志物（β-HCG和AFP）在诊断明确、治疗选择及其效果评估方面的应用前景良好。
