Abstract
DNA flow cytometry revealed aneuploid tumour stemlines in 19 of 20 primary testicular cancers without significant difference of the ploidy values between seminomas and non-seminomas. In 7 of 8 analyzable histograms the S-phase activity was 22-51%. A metastatic mature teratoma had 6% cells in S-phase. These results support the clinical observation that testicular cancer is usually a rapidly growing human tumour. The high percentage of aneuploidy in testicular cancer may be of clinical value in the diagnosis of this malignancy.Entities:
