Thursday, March 03, 2005The team analysed semen samples from a group of patients with testicular cancer, men with other types of cancer and infertility problems and a group of apparently healthy young men. Dr Hoei-Hansen said: "When we were evaluating the first series of semen samples we detected AP-2gamma positive cells in a sample from one of the healthy controls. "He was a 23-year-old man who was having a routine semen analysis because he and his partner had been trying for 18 months to have a baby. Further clinical evaluation revealed CIS [carcinoma in situ -ed] in his left testicle." It's only a case report, involving just one "andrological" subject, so it's impossible to say whether or not it would pan out as a screening test, but it's an interesting finding. posted by Sydney on 3/03/2005 07:42:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
