seminoma

By the time I was finally diagnosed with testicular cancer (seminoma, a germ cell tumour of the testicle), it had spread to my lymph nodes, and I needed three cycles of chemotherapy, as well as surgery to remove my testicle and some of my lymph nodes.

There are two main types of testicular cancer - seminoma and non-seminoma.

The histotypes include seminoma, embryonal carcinoma, yolk sac tumor, trophoblastic tumors, teratoma, mixed germ cell tumor, and regressed germ cell tumor.

In 1982, Seppelt first performed TSS for metachronous contralateral seminoma after radical orchiectomy.

The most common histological type, seminoma, is seen most commonly in men between 30 and 35 years of age.

An experienced pathologist is required for difficult cases, since distinguishing some cases from seminoma can be challenging (10).

It had microscopic picture of seminoma and was confirmed by the positivity of epithelial marker CD117 and negativity for CK7.

Testicular seminoma accounts for less than 1% of malignancies, with median age at diagnosis of 30-40 years.

measured hCG and hCG[beta] in 54 patients with seminoma and 74 with NSGCTs, concluding that in seminoma patients a single measurement of hCG[beta] was more effective than a single measurement of hCG because hCG[beta] was positive in 83% vs hCG positive in 50% of cases (33).

Of 1734 patients included, 29 were found to have MSCCS (10 patients with seminoma, 19 nonseminoma).
