Testicular germ-cell tumors are relatively rare in childhood and adolescence, accounting for only 3.9% of all neoplasms. However, they have become a model for curable cancer. Furthermore, most of them have accurate serum markers [beta-human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein], which provid

The present case-control study was undertaken to investigate the association between exposure to maternal hormones and risk of testicular germ-cell cancer by histologic subgroups. Cases were males, aged 16 to 59 years, diagnosed with testicular germ-cell cancer in Ontario between 1987 and 1989. Hist
The relation between physical activity and renal cell cancer is unclear. High occupational physical activity has been associated with a decreased risk of renal cell cancer among men-but not among women-in two previous studies, while no association has been found for leisure time physical activity.

The results obtained with primary retroperitoneal lymph-node dissection (RPLND) in 464 patients with clinical stage A nonseminomatous germ-cell (NSGC) testicular cancer over a period of 25 years were reviewed. Results were analyzed in clinical terms and subdivided into early (1965-1978) and contempo
Sperm counts, serum gonadotropins, and androgen levels were investigated in 39 seminoma patients and 58 patients with a nonseminomatous germ cell tumor of the testis after unilateral orchiectomy. In 58% of the patients, the total sperm count was below the lower reference value (80 million). A multir
