The value of alpha-fetoprotein and beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin in the management of testicular tumours.

Serum alpha-fetoprotein and beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin levels were estimated in 115 patients. Sixty-nine patients had non-seminomatous germ cell tumours and 34 patients had seminomas. Twenty-six patients showed elevated serum makers.
