[OA-14] Clinico-radio-pathological characters of intracranial germ cell tumours and the cut-off values of tumour markers

Intracranial germ cell tumours (ICGCTs) are rare; current treatment depends on tumour secreting status. ICGCTs with beta-hCG > 50 U/L or/and AFP > 10 ng/dL do not need histopathology before treatment initiation. Correlation of clinical, pathological diagnosis and reliability of tumour marker cut-off values are unknown. The aim of this study was to describe clinico-radio-pathological characters of ICGCTs, ...
