This special issue presents the proceedings of the 7th Copenhagen Workshop on Testicular Carcinoma in situ and Germ Cell Cancer, held in Denmark, October 13 - 15, 2010. Thirty years have passed since the 1st Copenhagen Workshop and the topic remains very current; the aetiology and pathogenesis of testicular cancer are still not yet completely elucidated and more needs to be done to improve early detection of carcinoma in situ. The list of authors and participants who attended read as a virtual who’s who in the field of the basic aspects of germ cell cancer. The programme encompassed a broad variety of relevant topics, including a review of the approaches to early diagnosis and late side effects of treatment. Thus both, clinicians and molecular geneticists alike can find something of interest in the excellent special issue.
