- 3. INTRODUCTION • 1% of male neoplasms • 5% of urological tumours • three to ten new cases occurring per 100,000 males/per year in Western societies • Tumors with very good prognosis, one of the most curable solid tumors! • Affects mainly young productive population 3 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
- 4. • Most common malignancy in men in the age group 15-35 yrs • Incidence- 0.2 -1% • Age group -late adolescence-early adulthood(20-40 yrs) -late adulthood (>60 yrs) -infancy(0-10 yrs) • Higher incidence -upper and middle socio economic class -professional men • Race – more in whites, rare in blacks • Laterality– common in right testis Bilateral – 2 – 3% 4 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
- 5. Etiology : •Familial clustering noted; not well proved beyond doubt •An isochromosome of the short arm of chromosome 12, i(12p) is found in virtually all germ cell tumors, regardless of their histologic type. •association between genetic polymorphism in the PTEN tumour suppressor gene and testicular germ cell tumours (TGCT) has been recently described . 5 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
- 6. • Alterations in the p53 locus have been identified in 66% of cases of GCNIS • A deregulation in the pluripotent programme of foetal germ cells (identified by specific markers, M2A, C-KIT and OCT4/NANOG) is likely responsible for the development of GCNIS and germ cell neoplasia. • single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with an increased risk of developing TGCT, in particular at 15q21.3 6 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
- 7. Epidemiological risk factors • testicular dysgenesis syndrome (i.e. cryptorchidism, hypospadias, decreased spermatogenesis evidenced by sub- or infertility) • familial history of testicular tumors among first-grade relatives • contralateral tumour or GCNIS • body height (TGCT risk with an odds ratio of 1.13 per 5 cm increase in body height) ( four well-established risk factors for testis cancer:cryptorchidism,family history of testis cancer,a personalhistoryof testis cancer,and intratubulargerm cell neoplasia(ITGCN).) 7 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
- 8. Cryptorchidism • four to six times more likely to have testis cancer • the relative risk decreases to two to three times more likely if orchidopexyis performed before puberty • 7 – 10% of pts with testicular tumors have h/o cryptorchidism / maldescent • 5 – 10% of pts with cryptochidism will developtesticular tumor in later life Factors- abnormal germ cell morphology elevated temperature interferencewith blood supply endocrine dysfunction gonadal dysgenisis 8 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.

EXTRA GONADAL GERM CELL TUMORS • Histologically all germ cell types are represented • Pure seminoma accounting for nearly half • May reach large size with relatively few symptoms • High potential for local invasion and distant metastasis • Primary retroperitoneal GCTs are indistinguishable biologically from testicular GCTs and carry the same prognosis 44 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
- 45. Primary mediastinal NSGCTs • less sensitive to chemotherapy • have a poor prognosis with a 5-year overall survival of about 45% • more likely to have yolk sac tumor components (elevations in serum AFP) • associated with Kleinfelter syndrome and with hematologic malignancies that carry extra copies of the short arm of chromosome 12, • In contrast, mediastinal seminomas have a prognosis similar to testicular seminomas, • mature teratomas of the mediastinum have low metastatic potential and can generally be cured surgically 45 Dept of Urology, GRH and KMC, Chennai.
