title: [Enzyme immunoassay of alpha 1-fetoproteins in patients with testicular tumors].
abstract: The use of a newly developed immunoassay for alpha-1-protein in testicular tumours is described. With 2 ng AFP/ml serum the lower detection group of the test is in the physiological range. Of 39 non-seminomatous testicular tumours, 59% had a high AFP-serum level post-operatively, of 51 on initial diagnosis 54%; 12 seminomas remained AFP-negative. Checking the AFP level ist valuable for diagnosis, staging and prognosis of all testicular tumours.
