Chromosomal changes in human primary testicular nonseminomatous germ cell tumors.
A cytogenetic analysis of 14 primary testicular nonseminomatous germ cell tumors has been carried out after short term tissue culture. The modal chromosome numbers ranged from 53 to 113, in agreement with flow cytometric determination of the DNA content of the tumors. At least one copy of an i(12p) was present in 12 tumors. Two tumors, however, lacked that marker. Some chromosomes are apparentl...
متن کاملHematologic disorders associated with primary mediastinal nonseminomatous germ cell tumors.
BACKGROUND The association between primary germ cell tumors of the mediastinum (the space between the lung pleura that contains the heart and other chest viscera) and hematologic malignancies has been described by retrospective analysis of patients treated at individual clinical centers. To better characterize the risk of hematologic disorders in patients with extragonadal germ cell tumors and ...
متن کاملThoracic metastasectomy for germ cell tumours: long term survival and prognostic factors.
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the results of thoracic metastasectomy for germ cell tumours to assess long term survival and identify prognostic factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS A series of 141 consecutive patients who underwent resection of thoracic metastases at Royal Brompton Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival were calculated for clinical variables rel...
متن کاملExtraperitoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for early-stage testicular nonseminomatous germ cell tumors
RATIONALE Typically robot-assisted laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (R-RPLND) has been performed via a transperitoneal approach. Herein we report the first case of a novel R-RPLND using an extraperitoneal approach. PATIENT CONCERNS A 38-year-old man presented with an enlarging right scrotal mass. DIAGNOSES Scrotal ultrasonography demonstrated a 5.5-cm solid mass of the rig...
متن کاملDoes serum tumor marker half-life complement pretreatment risk stratification in metastatic nonseminomatous germ cell tumors?
The goal of this study was to determine whether the serum tumor marker half-life (MHL) of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) during initial chemotherapy can complement pretreatment risk stratification in metastatic nonseminomatous germ cell tumors. One hundred forty-seven patients were assessable for MHL during the first two cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy. MHL...
