Does Determining Tumor Markers from the Testicular Vein Enable Better Diagnosis and Prognosis?

abstract：:The present study deals with morphological changes during erection both in the penile deep artery supplying the corpus cavernosum and in veins draining it. These vessels were shown to maintain wide lumina in the flaccid state. In the erect state induced by injection of papaverine, the postcavernous venules were compre...
