Semen quality in patients with testicular cancer is associated with age and with greatly elevated levels of beta human chorionic gonadotropin

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Poor semen quality is a well‐known feature in patients with testicular germ cell tumours (GCTs) at the time of diagnosis but the underlying biological reasons are incompletely understood. Objectives This study aimed to identify GCT‐specific clinical factors that are involved with poor semen quality in GCT patients.

Inhibition of HMGA2 Leads to Reduced Cell Proliferation and Increased Apoptosis in Human Embryonal Carcinoma Cell Lines

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The most prevalent solid tumors in young men are testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), and embryonal carcinoma is the most common subtype among non‐seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCTs). Despite the excellent cure rates of cisplatin‐based chemotherapy, resistance develops in 15%–30% of patients with metastatic cancer, which results ...

A Unified Machine Learning Model for Relapse Prediction in Clinical Stage I Testicular Cancer

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Approximately one‐fourth of patients with clinical stage I testicular cancer relapse. For decades, risk stratification has been based on different tumor characteristics for seminomas and non‐seminomas. Previous studies primarily used Cox proportional‐hazards models and included only a limited number of variables.

Bilateral adrenal teratomas

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2019
Teratoma is a rare type of germ cell neoplasm (GCN) which has an incidence of 0.9/100,000. These tumours occur more frequently in girls than in boys, and they usually are diagnosed before four years of age, with a mean age of 18 months.

Impact of Chemotherapy on Sperm Functional Characteristics in Patients With Testicular Germ Cell Tumours

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCT) are the most common malignancies among young men and represent a major threat to reproductive health. Both the disease itself and oncological treatments, particularly chemotherapy, can compromise spermatogenesis and semen quality.

In Situ Expression of miR‐371a‐3p and miR‐373‐3p in Testicular Germ Cell Tumours and Detection in Serum

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common type of tumour diagnosed in young men, and reliable non‐invasive biomarkers are crucial for clinical management. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) from the miR‐371–373 cluster have recently been identified as novel and more sensitive serum biomarkers than the conventional protein‐based ...

Co-expression networks in generation of induced pluripotent stem cells. [PDF]

, 2016
We developed an adenoviral vector, in which Yamanaka's four reprogramming factors (RFs) were controlled by individual CMV promoters in a single cassette (Ad-SOcMK). This permitted coordinated expression of RFs (SOX2, OCT3/4, c-MYC and KLF4) in a cell for
