In 24 of 43 patients (56%) with malignant germ cell tumors of the testis, the serum was positive for HCG prior to ablation of the testis. We give a detailed account of the course of HCG levels in the serum of 7 patients with seminoma of the testis. Positive serum-HCG-findings 8 to 10 days after semi-castration and prior to retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy indicate tumor metastases. In two thirds of our patients, we observed a correlation between regression of metastases under chemotherapy and the pattern of serum-HCG-levels.
在43例睾丸恶性生殖细胞肿瘤患者中，有24例（56%）在睾丸切除术前血清HCG呈阳性。我们详细阐述了7例睾丸精原细胞瘤患者血清中HCG水平的变化过程。半侧睾丸切除术后8至10天且在腹膜后淋巴结清扫术前血清HCG呈阳性表明存在肿瘤转移。在我们三分之二的患者中，我们观察到化疗后转移灶的消退与血清HCG水平变化模式之间存在相关性。
