TNM Tumor Staging of Germ Cell TumorsT:Primary tumor.T0: no evidence of primary tumor. Tis: germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS) T1: tumor confined to testis and epididymis, no vascular or lymphatic invasion. T2: tumor confined to the testis and epididymis with vascular or lymphatic invasion...
Melanoma antigen gene (MAGE)-A6 and MAGE-A11 are two of the most cancer-testis antigens overexpressed in various types of cancers. However, the clinical and prognosis value of MAGE-A6 and MAGE-A11 co-expression in the pathophysiology of the bladder is unknown. Three studies were selected from...

Testicular cancercan be divided intoseminomaand nonseminoma germ-cell tumors. The spread oftesticular tumoris most commonly to retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Although the overall prognosis for these tumors is good, accurate staging and surveillance are necessary. Disease is frequently incorrectly staged by...
population-based cohort of men with testis cancer. We examined 30,789 cases of testis cancer reported to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER 17) database between 1973 and 2005. All staging were converted to the 1997 AJCC TNM system. Patients less than 18 years of age at ...
