**Involvement of the testicular hilum is not specifically addressed in the AJCC 7th Edition. Based on the current evidence, it is probably best classified as pT1 (if there is no [[LVI]] and the tumour is otherwise confined to the testis/epididymis). | **Involvement of the testicular hilum is not specifically addressed in the AJCC 7th Edition.
