To define prognostic factors of testicular cancer and to develop a strategic therapy based on clinical, pathological and biological findings, 77 cases of non seminomatous testis tumor, observed in G.F. Leclerc Center from 1967 to 1977, have been analysed. For all these patients early chemotherapy program was associated with surgery; radiation therapy was reserved for stages with retroperitoneal metastatic disease. Results of this review confirmed the interest of such medical treatment which improved survival in all stages of disease. Some prognostic factors could be detailed from these cases: nature of tumoral components, invading of lymph node, presence or not of biological markers; identification of these would unable us to choose the best adjuvant chemotherapy program and to define its place in the management of testis tumor's treatment.

D002822 Choriocarcinoma A malignant metastatic form of trophoblastic tumors. Unlike the HYDATIDIFORM MOLE, choriocarcinoma contains no CHORIONIC VILLI but rather sheets of undifferentiated cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts (TROPHOBLASTS). It is characterized by the large amounts of CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN produced. Tissue origins can be determined by DNA analyses: placental (fetal) origin or non-placental origin (CHORIOCARCINOMA, NON-GESTATIONAL). Choriocarcinomas
D004407 Dysgerminoma A malignant ovarian neoplasm, thought to be derived from primordial germ cells of the sexually undifferentiated embryonic gonad. It is the counterpart of the classical seminoma of the testis, to which it is both grossly and histologically identical. Dysgerminomas comprise 16% of all germ cell tumors but are rare before the age of 10, although nearly 50% occur before the age of 20. They are generally considered of low-grade malignancy but may spread if the tumor extends through its capsule and involves lymph nodes or blood vessels.
