[Central register and combined study of testicular tumors (author's transl)].
To successfully combat cancer, research needs to be based on prospective investigations and central collation of data. An initial report is presented concerning one such investigation that has been in progress since September, 1976: "central register and combined study of testicular tumors--Bonn." The aims are to collate epidemiologic data, achieve a standardization of the stages of the cycle of the seminiferous epithelium and of classification, on the model of the WHO, as well as to attain maximum efficiency of diagnosis and therapy. Fourteen participating clinics in the German Federal Republic, Austria, and Switzerland, and 70 submissions of data up to the 1st of March, 1977, amply justify the efforts so far expended and encourage us to solicit the cooperation of previous nonparticipants.
