The Functional Role and Molecular Characterization of the Therapeutic Target CLDN6 in Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The tight junction protein CLDN6 has been identified as a cancer‐associated cell surface marker that is rarely expressed in healthy tissues. In testicular germ cell tumors (GCT), CLDN6 is particularly detectable in seminomas, embryonal carcinomas, and choriocarcinomas.

A Spotlight on Yolk‐sac Tumors: Molecular Pathology, Current Diagnostics, and Novel Therapeutics

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Yolk‐sac tumors are an aggressive subtype of testicular cancer that significantly contribute to disease progression and therapy resistance, especially in adults. While testicular cancer generally has high cure rates with cisplatin‐based treatment, adult yolk‐sac tumors often appear as components of mixed tumors with poor response to

Successful Multimodal Treatment of Intracranial Growing Teratoma Syndrome with Malignant Features

Current Oncology
Molecular analysis of the growing teratoma syndrome has not been extensively studied. Here, we report a 14-year-old boy with a growing mass during treatment for a mixed germ cell tumor of the pineal region.

Parallel Liquid Biopsy Analysis of miR‐371a‐3p and Cell‐Free DNA in an Unselected Cohort of Patients With Testicular Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite robust data showing strong potential to improve diagnosis and disease monitoring in testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), miR‐371a‐3p testing has not yet been implemented in routine clinical practice. Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) represents another promising liquid biopsy biomarker that may provide complementary molecular ...
