GERM CELL TUMORS

Clinical Manifestations

• Pineal• Aqueductal compression (increased ICPs; hydrocephalus)• Distortion of quadrigeminal plate (mental status changes, upward gaze palsies,

etc; Parinaud syndrome)• Precocious puberty (hCG)

• Suprasellar• Triad: DI, loss of visual acuity, hypopituitarism

• Higher incidence / association• Klinefelter syndrome• Down syndrome

GERM CELL TUMORS

Radiographic Features• Nonspecific• Well-circumscribed, lobulated lesions • T1: hypointense • T2/FLAIR: mainly hyperintense • Enhanced intensity and heterogeneously on both CT and MR• Calcification (usually pineal)• Hydrocephalus common• Often partially cystic• Local invasion common

• Prognostic variables: histology, location, and proximity to vital structures• Germinomas:

• CSI/whole brain, plus local boost• Recent trend: less radiation, in favor of cisplatin-based chemotherapy• >90% 10-year survival

• Non-GCTs:• Mature teratomas: gross total resection• Immature teratomas: GTS + radiation• Congenital teratomas: invariably fatal• EC, YST, Chorio: multimodal therapy; <45% 5-year survival

GERM CELL TUMORS

Genetics of Testicular GCTs• 12p gain:

• First described by Atkin and Baker, 1982• Gain of extra copies of the short arm of chromosome 12 (overrepresentation); occasionally in tandem

(isochromosome 12p)• Hallmark genetic marker of testicular GCTs• All types of GCTs, except for SS• ? Early event in GCT tumorigenesis vs progression

• Target genes overexpressed: 73 genes (GLUT3, REA, CCND2, FLJ22028, NANOG, STELLA, GDF3, EBAF, TDGF1, SOX2, etc)

• “12p gain is a functionally relevant change leading to activation of proliferation and reestablishment/maintenance of stem cell function through activation of key stem cell genes” Korkola et al, Cancer Research 2006

• 12p overrepresentation may also be seen in esophageal, pancreatic and ovarian carcinomas• 12p overrepresentation may correlate with invasive growth of seminomas and nonseminomas

GERM CELL TUMORS

Dual-color FISH

• Metaphase: whole isochromosome• Interphase: numerical abnormality• DNA Probes:

• CEP12: Centromeric α‐satellite – Ch12p; Vysis• Tel12: Subtelomeric – Ch12p; Vysis

• Controls:• Positive: classic testicular seminoma• Negative: internal lymphocytes

GERM CELL TUMORS

FISH Scoring

• 100 nuclei scored for CEP12 (red) and 12p (green) signals.• Green : Red ratio calculated.• 12p Overrepresentation:

• Cutoff: average signal number plus 3X standard deviation (3SD), which represented about 99% accuracy.

• Isochromosome 12p:• Spatial distribution of green : red signals analyzed: specific pattern of

signal aggregation.

GERM CELL TUMORS

Correlation with clinical behavior?

• Followup available on 15/23 cases:• 12p abnormalities detected (22 cases):

• Recurrence: 4/14; all with 12p OR and i(12)p• Death: 1/14

• 12p abnormalities not detected (1 case):• 15-year-old male• Suprasellar• Alive, free of disease• Morphologically and immunohistochemically typical

GERM CELL TUMORS

Pure Germinomas: The IU Experience• 32 primary intracranial germinomas over 22 year period:

• Incidence: ~2% of all primary pediatric tumors at IUMC• One patient had mediastinal germinoma 16 years earlier (? 2nd primary)

• 14/28 received CT + Focal XRT:• 5 (36%) relapsed:

• 4 salvaged by CSI, 1 died of disease progression• 5/28 received CT:

• 2 (40%) relapsed, 3 others are recent cases:• 1 salvaged by CSI, 1 died of disease progression

• 9/28 received CSI:• None relapsed• 1 died of radiation complications
