Description:
Genital malformations constitute the most common birth defects in man and domestic animals and occur frequently in males since the participation of many genes is required for sex differentiation to proceed in the male direction. The precise dose, timing, and coordination needed for their expression add to the proneness of various stages in male sex differentiation to external influences. The emerging insight, through the identification of genes involved in the sex differentiation cascade, is that over 85% of sex anomalies in human and domestic animal populations are not attributable to chromosome aberrations or to mutations in a known gene. Since a majority of severely malformed individuals are incapable of reproduction, the high rates of these defects have to be results either of new mutations or of collaboration of environmental factors with genes. Increase in specific malformations in domestic animals often indicates increased concentration of liability genes brought together in the conceptus by inbreeding. However, in human populations where inbreeding is not the norm such increases may reflect environment-induced new mutations or interaction of environmental agents with hormone-sensitive genes. This review summarizes the information currently available on the genetics of major events in male sex differentiation and briefly discusses the collaborative role that environment may play in disrupting different components of this process. ...

Unlike many types of cancer, testicular cancer most often affects young adults. In fact, it is the most common cancer in males between ages 15 and 35. The good news is that treatment is usually very successful. Examination for testicular cancer will probably be included in any physical examinations that you receive at a doctor's office, but you should examine yourself regularly as well. ... Read more

Your web board question book has been extremely helpful. I have been able to find next to nothing regarding board reviews.

Right now I am almost doing a hit and miss type of studying. The free sample review that you sent me was just what I was looking for.

Thank you for your help.

Dr. L.H., Ontario ______________________________________________________

Thank you preparing this series of subject reviews in Radiation Oncology.

Like many others in my field, I've experienced the frustration in trying to "weed" through the major texts to glean information essential for board review.

Dr. J.H., Ashland, Ky ______________________________________________________

I'm very glad that you have followed through with your idea to publish your Board Review Questions.

With a little bitterness, I will never understand why leaders in our field have not done this years earlier.

Just about any other medical specialty has ample board review materials available to their residents at resonable cost.

Dr. T.N., Clarksville, TN
