Clinical relevance of growth factor antagonists in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

abstract：:Despite the high cure rate in men with testicular cancer, efforts should be made to diagnose the disease at the preinvasive stage. The disease, which affects young males, is potentially lethal. Furthermore, testicular neoplasia diagnosed at the stage of CIS can be cured without the negative impact on the life-quality ...
