PROGNOSTIC FACTORS IN THE COMMON TESTIS TUMORS

Abstract
A series of 425 histologically proven testicular tumors collected over a period of 45 years was analyzed for prognostic factors. The clinicopathologic factors of greatest prognostic significance were clinical stage and histologic groups; those of lesser importance were age and symptom duration; and those of no importance were testis pain, testis mass, trauma, maldescent, gynecomastia, side of testis involvement, tumor size and gonadotropin level.
