Beschreibung
Germ cell tumors are relatively rare compared with other malignancies, and compilations of knowledge that encompass the entire spectrum of the disease are lacking. This textbook, written by the foremost authorities in the field, rectifies the situation by discussing in depth a broad range of topics, including biology, epidemiology, pathology, treatment, and late effects. 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. By spanning the entire life course, from prenatal origins of disease through to treatment in adults and late effects of treatment, the editors have produced a book that will be of interest to both pediatric and adult oncologists.

From the reviews:
“The authors wanted to capture practical management of all germ cell tumors. … For medical students, this is a good resource on the entire germ cell story. For residents and fellows, it has sufficient scholarly detail to meet most needs. For research scientists, the clinical details are a good resource and the biological details and references will be helpful to provide background to stimulate investigation. … a must have for any pediatric oncologist’s library.” (Clarke Paul Anderson, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2014)()
