AB Disease  summary:Testicular  germ  cell  tumor  (TGCT)  is  the  most  common  cancer  diagnosed  among  young  Caucasian  men,  and  is  relatively  rare  in  African-American  men.  Most  affected  individuals  are  diagnosed  with  seminomas  or  nonseminomas;  however,  mixed  germ  cell  tumors  also  occur.  Intratubular  germ  cell  neoplasia  (carcinoma  in  situ)  precedes  most  invasive  cancers.  Affected  men  have  a  good  prognosis  if  managed  according  to  modern  treatment  strategies.
