Mediastinal Germ Cell Tumors: Up Close and Personal

ABSTRACT

Rare mediastinal germ cell tumors and treatment are reviewed through the experience with my son, Brendan Fahy Bequette. We reflect on others that have been diagnosed with rare tumors and discuss our needs to "pay it forward" by honoring Brendan's memory.
