Background: Gonadectomy is generally postponed until early adulthood in complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) and close surveillance of gonads in situ proposed in males with partial AIS (PAIS). Delaying gonadectomy further is controversial given the lack of data regarding germ cell cancer (GCC) development in adulthood and the absence of biomarkers for noninvasive GCC screening.Aims and objectives: To study the prevalence of invasive G...
