Testicular intraepithelial neoplasia (TIN; so-called carcinoma in situ of the testis), the precursor of testicular germ cell neoplasms can be detected by testicular biopsy many years before the clinical manifestation of the tumour. This study looked at the prevalence of contralateral TIN in patients with testicular germ cell cancer. The purpose was to evaluate this new approach of early detection of testicular cancer and to evaluate the current management strategies. Patients, methods: 1954 consecutive patients with unilateral testicular germ cell tumour underwent contralateral biopsy. All specimens were examined immunohistologically with staining for placental alkaline phosphatase. Patients with TIN were usually submitted to low-dose radiotherapy of the testis. A rebiopsy was performed after 3 months. Endocrinological evaluations were done before, during and after treatment.
