Introduction
Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are a diverse group of neoplasms that originate from germ cells — the precursors of sperm and eggs. These tumors most commonly appear in the testes (testicular GCT) in males and the ovaries in females, but can also manifest in extragonadal sites such as the brain, chest, or abdomen. Although many germ cell tumors are highly curable, especially with platinum-based chemotherapy, there remain critical unmet needs: relapsed/refractory disease, fertility preservation, long-term toxicity, and novel therapies for hard-to-treat or metastatic tumors. Increasing research, better diagnostics, and evolving treatment paradigms are reshaping the germ cell tumor market.
