Median tumor marker levels were different pre‐orchiectomy compared to pre‐chemotherapy, although this did not result in a change in risk category in most cases: AFP 28 versus 13 μg/L (IQR 186 μg/L), hCG 25 versus 9 U/L (IQR 435 U/L), and LDH 277 versus 244 U/L (IQR 185 U/L) (Table 3). Here, AFP is linked to neoplasm.
