Overview
Testicular cancer may be classified into several subtypes based on TNM system and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC).
Staging
The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) includes serum tumor marker levels in the stages for germ cell tumors. Doctors use S to describe the levels of serum tumor markers in the blood after surgery to remove the testicle (called orchiectomy). The serum tumor markers measured are alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).
Stage 0
Stage | TNM and S | Definition |
---|---|---|
Stage 0 | Tis | Intratubular germ cell neoplasia, unclassified (IGCNU), is present |
N0 | No regional lymph node metastasis | |
M0 | No distant metastasis | |
S0 | Serum tumor marker levels are normal |
