We evaluated 33 patients with histologically verified germinoma between 1978 and 1992. The patients consisted of 23 men and 10 women between 6 and 32 years of age. All patients underwent either biopsy, partial resection, or total resection. All patients received radiotherapy, and all had a complete remission. Recurrence occurred in three patients. Two recurrences were outside of the irradiated area. Though there were four deaths, none were caused by germinoma. Three resulted from the inadequate hormonal replacement. Accurate staging of patients with germinoma using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including whole spinal MRI, and development of a radiochemotherapy or chemotherapy method that preserves the hypothalamic-pituitary axis function are needed.

D009364 Neoplasm Recurrence, Local The local recurrence of a neoplasm following treatment. It arises from microscopic cells of the original neoplasm that have escaped therapeutic intervention and later become clinically visible at the original site.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D013120 Spinal Cord Neoplasms Benign and malignant neoplasms which occur within the substance of the spinal cord (intramedullary neoplasms) or in the space between the dura and spinal cord (intradural extramedullary neoplasms). The majority of intramedullary spinal tumors are primary CNS neoplasms including ASTROCYTOMA; EPENDYMOMA; and LIPOMA. Intramedullary neoplasms are often associated with SYRINGOMYELIA. The most frequent histologic types of intradural-extramedullary tumors are MENINGIOMA and NEUROFIBROMA.
