The treatment of so-called "marker-positive" pure seminoma is still a controversial subject. We report on 32 cases of seminoma treated within 2 years. In these we measured beta-HCG and AFP in a cubital vein and in the spermatic cord veins. While 78% of the patients affected had elevated beta-HCG levels in the spermatic cord, in only 25% elevated beta-HCG levels were found in a cubital vein. This shows the markedly higher sensitivity of marker evaluation in spermatic cord veins. Furthermore, we conclude that seminoma generally produces beta-HCG and that therefore no change of the usual principles of therapy is required. |
