PRDM14 is expressed in germ cell tumors with constitutive overexpression altering human germline differentiation and proliferation. [PDF]
Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors occurring in gonadal and extragonadal locations. GCTs are hypothesized to arise from primordial germ cells (PGCs), which fail to differentiate.

Androgen receptor polymorphisms and testicular cancer risk [PDF]
Testicular cancer (TC) is currently the most common malignant solid tumour in Caucasian males aged 15-39 years. Epidemiological evidence suggests that its onset may be due to an imbalance in the action of steroidal sex hormones and their receptors.

A population-based case-control study on social factors and risk of testicular germ cell tumours [PDF]
Objectives Incidence rates for testicular cancer have risen over the last few decades. Findings of an association between the risk of testicular cancer and social factors are controversial. The association of testicular cancer and different indicators of

Seminoma in a gray brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira) with unilateral cryptorchidism
Cryptorchidism is the incomplete descent of the testes and associated structures, and cryptorchid testes are more likely to develop testicular neoplasms, such as seminoma.

A mitotic kinase scaffold depleted in testicular seminomas impacts spindle orientation in germ line stem cells. [PDF]
Correct orientation of the mitotic spindle in stem cells underlies organogenesis. Spindle abnormalities correlate with cancer progression in germ line-derived tumors.

Pan-urologic cancer genomic subtypes that transcend tissue of origin [PDF]
Urologic cancers include cancers of the bladder, kidney, prostate, and testes, with common molecular features spanning different types. Here, we show that 1954 urologic cancers can be classified into nine major genomic subtypes, on the basis of ...
