AB  - The role of biologic markers in the management of testicular and bladder cancer 
      has been described. alpha--fetoprotein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotropin 
      when used together have been extremely helpful in detecting recurrence, staging, 
      and monitoring of testicular cancer. The cellular localization of these markers 
      by immunoperoxidase has also been an aid in understanding the natural history of 
      these tumors. The cell surface antigens in bladder cancer have been useful 
      predictors as to whether or not Stage A bladder cancer will develop into more 
      invasive cancer when compared with the conventional histopathologic examination 
      of the bladder tumor. In the last six years we have prospectively utilized these 
      markers in the management of testicular and bladder cancer. The clinical and 
      laboratory findings of these prospective studies are reviewed.
