[Non-seminomatous germ cell tumors of the testis: histological prognostic factors. Use of an analytical assessment form of the orchidectomy specimen].

Abstract

25 pathologists have used an analytical assessment-form in order to study 78 orchidectomies. An histological pattern of more than 50% embryonal carcinoma appears to be in accordance with the rate of embols, which are the main risk factor even if exclusively intratesticular. This form might be useful for multicentric studies.
