22 Conclusions so far and expectations. Optimal pathological (WHO)/clinical classification (also non-testicular) Identification of (general) risk population(s) ethnic origin (genetic basis) & clinical characteristics (TDS/DSD) (SNPs) Insight into pathogenesis (embryonic germ cell origin, including (epi)genetics) Identification (biology based) biomarkers (Tissue/Serum) OCT3-4/SOX2-17/(KITLG early age)/afp/hcg (Tissue/Serum)/... Risk stratification: * initial diagnosis * follow-up

28 Overall conclusions and future perspectives Human germ cell tumors; a developmental disease. What we have: - Optimal pathological (WHO)/clinical classification (also non-testicular) - Identification of (general) risk population(s) ethnic origin (genetic basis) & clinical characteristics (TDS/DSD) (SNPs) - Insight into pathogenesis (embryonic germ cell origin) - Identification (biology based) biomarkers (Tissue/Serum) OCT3-4/SOX2-17/(KITLG early age)/afp/hcg (Tissue/Serum)/... What we will get: - Early stratification diagnosis (defined risk populations) - Understanding (genetic) heterogeneity (prim. tumor & metastases) - Informative molecular serum biomarkers (non-responders: relapse/resistance) - Putative target(s) treatment refractory disease
