Use of serum beta-chain human chorionic gonadotropin in the management of testis tumor
National Cancer Institute Monograph
|December 1, 1978
Abstract:
One-third of all testis tumors secrete HCG which can be detected in the serum by radioimmunoassay. beta-HCG levels can be used for diagnosis and follow-up of testis tumors. Seminomas with elevated serum beta-HCG levels probably have nonseminomatous metastases.
