Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) represent the most common malignancy in young men aged 15–40 years, accounting for approximately 95% of all testicular cancers. They arise from germ cells and are classified as seminomas or non-seminomatous tumors (NSGCTs), each requiring distinct treatment strategies.
Despite their rarity in the general population, TGCTs are clinically significant due to their occurrence in a reproductive age group and their potential impact on fertility and long-term health. A recent review published JAMA highlights key aspects, epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and therapeutic advances,
