Testicular Cancer Mapped Genomically and Epigenomically

Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are one of the most common type of cancer in young men of European descent and are considered to be among the most curable. Researchers for The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network now report on the results of a comprehensive genetic and epigenetic analysis of 137 TGCTs, which has identified molecular features of the different types of TGCT.
