Evaluation of Bile Acid Concentrations and Their Signaling as Markers of Testicular Tumorigenesis and Germ Cell Tumor Chemosensitivity
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
blood sampling: Blood samples will allow the measurement of AFP, LDH and HCG as well as the measurement of testosterone, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and bile acids
Tissue sampling: On these tissues (tumoral and non-tumoral), the investigators will carry out analysis of the bile acid composition by mass spectrometry, molecular characterization by RNAseq, histological characterization and analysis in cell culture
Study summary
This is a study exploring measurable markers in the blood of patients with testicular tumors. The investigators will focus on the importance of measuring and analyzing these markers for their prognostic value and predictive response to treatment.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- To compare bile acid levels in healthy testicular tissues and in tumorous testicular tissues in patients with testicular germ cell tumor — During orchidectomy
The investigators hypothesis is that bile acid levels are higher in tumor tissues compared to those present in healthy tissues of patients with testicular germ cell tumors, making them a marker of these tumors. Furthermore, the investigators suggest that blood bile acid levels and their composition are a relevant prognostic marker of these tumors.
