Cover Story: Testicular germ cell tumors are the most common malignancy of young men, and the incidence is rising worldwide. These tumors are curable with conventional chemotherapy, although a significant number of patients are resistant and die of progressive disease. Epigenetics appears to play an especially important role in the pathogenesis and therapeutic responses of testicular germ cell tumors. Singh et al. review the current evidence that supports a central role for epigenetics in the etiology, progression, and treatment of this common form of testicular cancer. A working model is developed that postulates that epigenetic features that drive testicular cancer malignancy also enable these tumors to be cured at a high rate with chemotherapy. This model provides new insights related to testicular cancer chemoresistance and potential vulnerabilities to epigenetic-based therapies. View this paper
