## Abstract The fetal and neonatal development of male germ cells (gonocytes) is a poorly understood but crucial process for establishing fertility. In rodents, gonocytes go through two phases of proliferation accompanied by apoptosis and separated by a quiescent period during the end of fetal deve
The application of new techniques, particularly the identification of tumour markers, in the study of testicular germ cell tumours is presently leading to a reassessment of opinions regarding the origin and classification of these neoplasms. Some aspects of this controversy are examined.
