## Abstract The aim of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are hormoneβdependent cancers. Human TGCT cells were implanted in the left testis of male severe combined immunodeficient mice receiving either no treatment or hormone manipulation treatmen
## Abstract Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the most common cancer among young men in the United States and Western Europe. Prior evidence suggests that TGCT may arise in perinatal life, although few risk factors have yet been identified. To study the etiology of TGCT, the US Servicemen's Te
## Abstract Mutations in the __p53__ gene are common in many cancers. They have been documented to occur in about 55% of all cancers of 51 different cell and tissue types. These mutations are accompanied by overexpression of the p53 protein in the nucleus of the cell, and this protein has lost its
## Abstract Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) of adults and adolescents are thought to be derived from primordial germ cells or gonocytes. TGCTs develop postpuberty from precursor lesions known as intratubular germ cell neoplasia undifferentiated. The tumors can be divided into two groups based o
