    Need to choose my path

    Hi all i just came back form the hospital and got my patholgy report
    i will have to choose my path in about a week and want to share and to ask u.

    following is my medical data

    Data Pre Left I/o:

    9/30/07 diagnostic
    Markers - afp-42 hcg-115
    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 .

    any suggustion ideas or member with similar data can be very helpful

    is it posible for surveillance in such terms???

    tnx boram .
