A Man’s Rare Late Complication After Brain Tumor Therapy Wolfgang Paik

Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) and alpha-fetoprotein are useful markers in diagnosis. Although radiotherapy can achieve remission, patients may still develop late endocrine complications or rare metachronous germ cell tumors, making long-term surveillance essential. The case report by general practitioner Ariadna Perea Gill, MD, and colleagues from the Universidad de Guanajuato in Guanajuato, Mexico, shows the value of comprehensive, long-term, multidisciplinary follow-up.
