Revisiting DNA damage repair, p53-mediated apoptosis and cisplatin sensitivity in germ cell tumors
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), ie, seminomas and nonseminomas, account for 1% to 3% of all neoplasms in men. They are the most common cancer in young white males and are unique in their responsiveness to cisplatin-based chemotherapy. For this reason, TGCTs are considered a model for curative disease.
