Certain cancer-associated substances are useful in the diagnosis and management of cancer. We have found that the estimation of serum alpha-fetoprotein and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin in patients with testicular tumors is useful. Of 17 patients with germ cell testicular tumors found to have elevated serum markers 3 had seminoma of the testis and all 3 had elevated beta-human chorionic gonadotropin. It is not possible, however, to correlate the histology of testicular tumors and the type of serum markers. All of our patients with elevated markers had active tumor. However, 3 patients with metastatic deposits in the para-aortic lymph nodes did not have elevated serum markers.
某些癌症相关物质在癌症的诊断和治疗中很有用。我们发现，检测睾丸肿瘤患者血清中的甲胎蛋白和人绒毛膜促性腺激素β亚基很有用。在17例生殖细胞睾丸肿瘤患者中，发现有血清标志物升高，其中3例为睾丸精原细胞瘤，且这3例患者的人绒毛膜促性腺激素β亚基均升高。然而，无法将睾丸肿瘤的组织学与血清标志物类型相关联。我们所有血清标志物升高的患者都有活跃的肿瘤。然而，3例腹主动脉旁淋巴结有转移灶的患者血清标志物并未升高。
