TRA-1-60 is a monoclonal antibody (MAb) that recognizes a mucin-like antigenic determinant expressed on the surface of embryonal carcinoma (EC) progenitor cells. In order to determine whether this antigen is released into the serum of patients with a non-seminomatous germ-cell tumor (NSGCT), we deve

The allocation of patients with advanced germ cell tumors (GCT) to different treatment programs based on clinical characteristics is standard in the design of clinical trials today. Studies have shown that substantial differences exist between entry criteria and that these differences could influenc
BACKGROUND. ␣-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) closely follow the course of germ cell tumors (GCTs) and are widely used for diagnosis, prognosis, and follow-up purposes. The objective of this study was to assess the concordance of tumor markers a
## Abstract TRA‐1‐60 antigen has been related to the presence of embryonal germ cell carcinoma (EC) and carcinoma __in situ__. Our study further investigated the clinical efficacy of TRA‐1‐60 as a serum tumor marker for germ cell cancer in the testis. Three groups of patients with germ cell tumors
