Serum Tumour Markers in Testicular Germ Cell Tumours: Frequencies of Elevated Levels and Extents of Marker Elevation Are Significantly Associated with Clinical Parameters and with Response to Treatment

<p>(a) Individual serum bHCG levels in controls (red) and seminoma patients (blue) ranked by the extent of elevation (x-fold of ULN). Waterfall plot: horizontal line denotes upper limit of norm (ULN). Logarithmic scale on y-axis. (b) Individual serum bHCG levels in controls (red) and nonseminoma patients (blue). The figure illustrates greatly elevated bHCG levels (&gt;10-fold of ULN) to be rare in seminoma but frequent in nonseminoma.</p>
