## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Since the early 1970s, the incidence of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) in the United States has been increasing; however, potential environmental exposures accounting for this increase have not been identified. A previous study reported a significant association bet
Background. Hyperpentaploidy in testicular nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (TNSGCT) has been associated with progression of disease of patients who initially had TNSGCT in Stage I. Methods. The authors used flow cytometry to investigate the relationship between ploidy and the clinical behavior in
## Abstract Testicular germ cell tumor karyotypes are characterized by nearβtriploidy, with chromosome numbers ranging from 50 to 70, and by the frequent appearance of i(12p). The high chromosome number has been attributed to the formation of tetraploid carcinoma in situ cells followed by chromosom
