95% arise in testes
Peak 25-35
10-20% present with distant mets
B/l gct %
2% m/c metachronous
Risk factors for testicular ca
White race Crypto 4-6 times . Pexy- 2-3 F/h/o P/h/o ITGCN( GCNIS)
F/h/o risk testes cancer
Brother- 8-12 times RR-
Father 2-4
12 times risk for c/l
GCNIS
GCNIS
Present in 80-90% of GCT
50 % risk of transformation in 5 years and 70% in
7 years
Microlithiasis in USG increases the risk.
GCNIS begins in utero.
• Field effect within the testicle.
5% and 9% of patients with GCT have GCNIS
within the unaffected contralateral testis.
Gcnis predispose most testicular ca except
Spermatocytic seminoma
Teratoma
GCT chr abn
Isochromosome 12 p- 70-80%
Seminomas never produce AFP
15% - HCG
PLAP +
CD117+
Cd30 neg
Nsgct - 55%
Teratoma-47% mixed
Teratoma no hormones
Chemoresistant so surgery only
.
Most undiff nsgct
Embryonal ca AE PLAP OCT NEG FOR CKIT
High hcg
Chorioca- cytotrophoblasts Dx
Lung liver brain mets
Schiller duval- in 50% cases
Yolk sac tumor-AFP
Genetics test ca
Kit ligand pathway Kit P53 Kras Nras Braf 12i
Serum marker at what time is used for staging in testeca
3-4 wks after orchidectomy
