title: Current Clinical Applications of Testicular Cancer Biomarkers.
abstract: Current use of testicular biomarkers for screening, diagnosis, and follow-up is reviewed in the context of potential clinical utility of these tests. This information will be of value to clinicians to determine patient suitability for certain treatments and will also assist in reviewing current literature regarding potential biomarkers that may be used for testicular cancer.
