[Endocrinology and fertility in stage I testicular tumor].
The situation of endocrinology and fertility of patients suffering from testicular cancer stage I (Peckham) with good survival rates were evaluated before semicastration. The value of beta-hCG is of great importance. According to this criteria 3 groups were formed. beta-hCG positive tumors, beta-hCG positive tumors out of the blood sample of the vena spermatica after ablation of the testis tumor and beta-hCG negative tumors. The histology is of secondary importance. 54 patients with testicular cancer were evaluated in this study. From 37 patients it was possible to get a spermiogram before semicastration. For the analysis of the spermiogram the values of LH, FSH, Testosterone and E2 are responsible. The values of beta-hCG in the serum from the periphery is of great importance, while a single elevation of beta-hCG in the serum out of the v.spermatica does not change the endocrinology. The question of kryosperm conservation is according to these parameters better evaluable.
