Germ cell tumors are relatively rare, and compilations of knowledge that encompass the entire spectrum of the disease are lacking. This publication covers a broad range of topics, including biology, epidemiology, pathology, treatment, and late effects, and spans the entire life course. Bearing in mind that germ cell tumors are most prevalent in the adolescent and young adult age group, causes of disease and treatment approaches in pediatric and adult patients are compared and contrasted. Written by international experts in the field, this book will be of interest to both pediatric and adult oncologists.
