Given the high level of beta-hCG and normal level of AFP, a
germinoma, choriocarcinoma, or mixed type tumor was taken into account.
As our patient had a localized

Diagnosed with a
germinoma brain tumor, Victoria underwent surgery, chemo, and radiation.
The control group was comprised of 24 patients (14 males and 10 females) with a mean age of 57 years, of whom 18 had metastatic brain tumors (14 from the lung, 1 from the thymus, 1 from the breast, and 2 of unknown origin), and 6 had primary brain tumors (2 glioblastoma multiforme, 1 grade II glioma, 1 anaplastic astrocytoma, 1 pituitary adenoma, and 1
germinoma).
The biopsy showed that what he really has is pure cell
germinoma, a tumor with only one type of cancer cell that is aggressive but responds well to chemotherapy and radiation and, according to Boston Children's Hospital, has a cure rate of up to 90 percent.
