## Abstract Since the introduction of cisplatin into the clinic, the treatment of patients with a variety of solid tumors including testicular germ cell tumors, ovarian and lung cancers, has dramatically improved. One of the main causes for therapeutic failure in these malignancies is the developme
In order to investigate the genetics of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), we examined 33 TGCTs, including 15 familial/bilateral and 18 sporadic tumors, using comparative genomic hybridization. The frequencies of the histological subtypes were comparable between the two groups. Gains of the whole
Experience with 200 cases of testicular tumors seen over a period of I0 years has been presented. Modes of presentation, response to treatment, and patterns of failure have been analyzed in 186 cases of germ cell tumors. The role of radiation in the overall management of seminomas is reaffirmed, and
