Popis: Testis specimen should be handled in a detailed manner in order to assure gathering of comprehensive and accurate pathological information. Indeed macroscopic and microscopic items included in a pathology report have prognostic implications. Pathological data, together with clinical and biochemical (i.e., tumor markers) information, are useful in decision-making about patients care after orchiectomy, especially to define the need of adjuvant treatment versus surveillance.
