Hi all i just came back form the hospital and got my patholgy report

Ultrasound - 15 MM diameter tumor with amplify
blood flow
10/2/07 CT Scan more or less ok
10/8/07 Left I/O
my pathology microscopy description (10/25/07)
Nonseminomstous mixed germ cell tumor
the neoplasm is composed of
embryonal carcinoma(approximatly 60%)
yolk sac tumor (30%)
and few foci of atypical trophoblast proliferation compatible with choriocarcinoma (a minor tumor component).
The neoplasm measures 1.2*1.1*1 cm and reaches up to tunica albuginea
with out invasion through it.
Epididymus,tunical vaginalis and spermatic corde are free of tumor.
No Vascular invasion was found.
Stage Pt1.
Immunohistchmical stauns:
Pan Ck,Afp,CD30 and PLAP -focally Positive.
BetaHCG is Positive in the small Part of cells (trophoblast) and show a marked
background stainin(the latter finding was also see in AFP stain).
i am still waiting for blood result post I/O,and oncologist appointment.
my urologist point me two option :
1) LP RLPND
2) 2XBEp
with no surveillance option (casue there is 60% embryonal carcinoma)
i am in across road trying to choose the best path .
