Zusammenfassung

Der testikuläre Keimzelltumor (KZT) repräsentiert den häufigsten bösartigen Tumor bei 20- bis 40-jährigen Männern. Die Altersverteilung unterscheidet sich von den übrigen soliden Neoplasien des Menschen insofern, als ein 1. Altersgipfel zwischen dem 25. und 35. Lebensjahr, ein 2. geringerer Gipfel mit >80. Jahren auftritt.

In den vergangenen 30–40 Jahren haben viele klinische Untersuchungen die Risikofaktoren analysiert, die in die Entwicklung und Progression der KZT involviert sind. Als wesentliche Parameter haben sich Maldescensus testis und junges Alter herauskristallisiert. Neben der onkologischen Kennzeichnung dieses urologischen Malignoms und molekularbiologischen Aspekten sind in diesem Kapitel die Diagnostik und Therapie von Seminomen und Nichtseminomen sowie der testikulären intraepithelialen Neoplasie (TIN) thematisiert. Auch die seltenen Hodentumoren wie Keimstrang-/Stroma-, Leydig- und Sertoli-Zelltumoren, Gnoadoblastom und Granulosazelltumoren sind hier kurz beschrieben.
