Tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) and prostatic acid phosphatase in serum of prostatic cancer patients.

Tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) and prostatic acid phosphatase were both detected by radioimmunoassay in the sera of a male population (age greater than 45 years) consulting the clinic for urological problems or check-up on treatment. Increased concentrations of TPA were associated mostly with advanced stages of prostatic carcinomas, parallel to PAP. Some enhanced TPA concentrations were detected with haematuria and adenomas of the prostate.

[Problems posed by successive bilateral cancers of the testicles].

Six new cases of bilateral sequential germ cell tumors of the testis are reported. They were observed between 1960 and 1980 among 161 cases of testicular cancers. The incidence was 3.7%. One patient showed atypical germ cells in a testicular biopsy specimen 8 months before the second tumor arose. The importance of the seminoma in situ as an increased risk of a second testicular tumor and specific modalities of diagnosis, therapy or prognosis are discussed. We insist on the need for an accurate and extended follow-up because the success in management depends primarily on early diagnosis.
