We reviewed 59 cases of pineal tumors and intracranial germ-cell tumors. Most pineal tumors occurred in the first three decades of life, with the exception of pineocytomas, which were seen at a mean age of 34. A male preponderance was noted in the various pineal tumors, except for pineocytomas. The most common tumor of the pineal region was germinoma, which usually showed high density with homo...
متن کاملThe Epidemiology of Malignant Germ Cell Tumors: The EUROCARE Study

Here we describe the epidemiology of GCT on the basis of data from European population-based cancer registries (CRs) analysed in the framework of the EUROCARE (European Cancer Registrybased study on survival and care of cancer patients) project, which has moni...
