Germ cell tumors in children and adolescents in Finland: trends over 1969–2008
2014
Purpose
Malignant germ cell tumors (GCTs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms putatively originating from the primordial germ cell. In adults, an increasing incidence of GCTs, particularly testicular tumors, has been reported in recent decades. However, population-based evidence in children and adolescents remains limited. We investigated the incidence of malignant GCTs diagnosed in childhood or adolescence, using population-based nationwide data from Finland.
