摘要
睾丸生殖细胞肿瘤(TGCTs)是工业化国家年轻男性常见的恶性肿瘤之一,由于肿瘤大多形成于胎儿发育阶段,深入了解TGCTs的发病机制比较困难。本文探讨了TGCTs发病的相关因素,包括种族、地理与环境、基因与信号通路、癌干细胞、精原细胞微环境等,从而为探究TGCTs的发病机制提供基础,并为TGCTs的治疗开拓思路。
Testicular germ cell tumor(TGCT) is one of the commonest malignant tumors among young men in industrialized countries. As most tumors are formed in fetal development stage, it is difficult to have an insight into the pathogenesis. By reviewing the recent related reports, we discussed several etiologic factors of TGCTs, including race, geography, environment, related genes and signaling pathways, cancer stem cells(CSC), the niche for spermatogonial stem cells(SSCs), etc, to support investigating pathogenesis and treatment of TGCTs.
