Ovarian germ cell tumor: According to the US preventive services task force, screening for ovarian cancer is not recommended in asymptomatic women.[1]

Testicular germ cell tumor: According to the 'KIT Mutations Are Common in Testicular Seminomas' study, screening for seminoma by using the highly sensitive combination of denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and direct sequencing observed:[2]
