Abstract:
A well documented and clear report briefly analyzes frequency of these tumors, their lymph node and metastatic spread and their classification. The advantages of assay of biological markers are emphasized for determining extratesticular localization and evaluation of treatment efficacy. Clinical examinations and complementary investigations are summarized and surgical, radiotherapeutic and chemotherapeutic modalities discussed, as well as their indications as a function of the histopathologic variety and developmental stage of the tumor. Finally, complications arising from the different treatments proposed are outlined.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
Testes: Gross Anatomy
Each testis is surrounded by the tunica albuginea, a dense connective tissue layer that provides structural support and protection. This layer is covered by an outer serous membrane called the tunica vaginalis, which helps reduce friction...

Spermatogenesis
The process of spermatogenesis can be divided into mitosis, meiosis, and spermiogenesis. During mitosis, the spermatogonia or stem cells divide to produce two identical daughter cells, type A and B spermatogonia. Type-A...
