Classification, Epidemiology and Therapies for Testicular Germ Cell Tumours

Testicular Germ Cell Tumours (TGCTs) have come to be well defined and managed, thanks to a number of international consortia and collaborations. The incidence of TGCTs continues to rise, with a growing number of risk factors which are discussed in this article. Genetic studies have also revealed specific markers that confer risk for TGCTs. We discuss the widely accepted treatment regimens as well as areas that novel therapies may target in the future.
