Larry Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 21e AB - Testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) represent 95% of all testicular neoplasms. Non-GCTs of the testis are much less common. Approximately 5% of GCTs arise in extragonadal locations including the mediastinum, retroperitoneum, and pineal gland. Treatment for testicular GCTs is determined by pathology and stage. The development of effective chemotherapy for this disease represents a landmark achievement in oncology. About 95% of newly diagnosed patients with testicular GCTs will be cured. For this reason, testicular cancer has been called “a model for a curable neoplasm.” SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/20 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1190481243 ER -
