Germ Cell Tumors Treatment
Germ cells in the human body are responsible for developing into sperm and eggs and are usually located in the testicles or ovaries. However, in some rare cases, they can be found outside of these areas if they developed while the baby was still in the womb.
If these germ cells divide abnormally, they will turn into a tumor that mostly affects children and is located in the testicles for boys and in the ovaries for girls. If a germ cell is located outside of the areas where it typically appears, a tumor can also develop in the brain, chest, lower spine and back of the stomach.
This is typically an extremely treatable illness, and there are multiple different treatment options doctors can use for germ cell tumors.
