Towards a non-invasive method for early detection of testicular neoplasia in semen samples by identification of fetal germ cell-specific markers
18 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) originate from a common precursor, carcinoma in situ (CIS). Diagnosis at the CIS stage is desirable as it minimizes the necessary treatment. A detailed clinical evaluation of an approach to detect CIS cells in the ejaculate using primordial germ cell/gonocyte markers is presented. METHODS: Immunocytological staining for AP-2gamma [and in some cases, OCT-3/4, NANOG...
