Rapidly Progressive Metastatic Sertoli Cell Tumor Associated With an Adenomatous Polyposis Coli Mutation: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]

IJU Case Rep
ABSTRACT Introduction Sertoli cell tumors are rare testicular sex cord‐stromal tumors, and clinically malignant behavior is uncommon. We report a rapidly progressive metastatic Sertoli cell tumor associated with an APC mutation. Case Presentation A 27‐year‐old man with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) presented with painless right scrotal ...

Testicular histopathology and its association with germ cell numbers, serum concentrations of reproductive hormones, and semen quality

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background It is well‐established that spermatogenesis, semen quality, and reproductive hormones are interlinked. It is, however, less well‐described how various specific testicular histopathologies are linked to reproductive hormones and semen quality.

BRD9 inhibition as potential treatment option for testicular germ cell tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the predominant tumor in younger males. Usually, 5‐year survival rates are quite high, but 15–20% of patients with metastatic non‐seminomas are resistant to standard cisplatin‐based therapy.

Testicular epidermoid cysts: a reevaluation

BMC Urology, 2019
Background Testicular epidermoid cysts (TECs) are rare benign testicular neoplasms. As TECs are rarely associated with germ cell tumours (GCTs), the understanding of biological behaviour and clinical management of TEC is unresolved.

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.

The value of ultrasound texture analysis in the diagnosis of pathological types of primary testicular tumours in adults

BMC Cancer
Background Different types of testicular tumours require different treatments. Malignant germ cell tumours usually require radical orchiectomy, while benign tumours may only require excision of the mass.

Prognostic factors in seminomas with special respect to HCG: Results of a prospective multicenter study [PDF]

, 1999
Objective: In a prospective multicenter trial, it was our intention to elucidate clinical prognostic factors of seminomas with special reference to the importance of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) elevations in histologically pure seminomas. Methods:

Sperm Telomere Interactions Are Impaired in Testicular Cancer Before and After Adjuvant Therapy

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background No study has yet explored telomere length or interaction in sperm nuclei of testicular cancer (TC) patients exposed to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. However, sperm telomere dynamics have emerged as a potential marker in male infertility.

Down syndrome with cryptorchidism and retroperitoneal mixed germ cell tumour in an adult patient: a case report and literature review

World Journal of Surgical Oncology
Background An association between testicular cancer and Down syndrome has been reported by several studies. Down syndrome with cryptorchidism and retroperitoneal mixed germ cell tumours is rare, and yolk sac tumours are often considered secondary ...

The Testicular Cancer Consortium (TECAC): Filling Knowledge Gaps in the Genetic Etiology of Testicular Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The Testicular Cancer Consortium (TECAC) was established in 2012 and is comprised of researchers from over 25 centers in Europe and North America. TECAC's overarching goal is to investigate the genetic susceptibility of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) to better understand their biology, impact prevention strategies, and inform ...
