Given the developmental origins of IGCTs, we investigated the prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) in patients with IGCTs and characterized outcomes for patients with NDD and IGCTs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective review of medical records was conducted for 111 patients diagnosed with IGCTs between 1998 and 2018 and evaluated at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Kaplan\u2013Meier method and log\u2010rank test was used for survival analyses. Cox regression analyses were performed for parameters associated with progression\u2010free survival (PFS).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Median age at IGCT diagnosis was 12.8 years (range: 4.3\u201321.7) and median follow\u2010up was 6.5 years (range: 0.2\u201320.5). Eighteen patients were diagnosed with NDDs prior to IGCT diagnosis, including five patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Of the 67 patients with pure germinomas, four (6.0 %) had prior ASD diagnoses. Patients with NDD had significantly inferior PFS in the nongerminomatous germ cell tumor (NGGCT) cohort. On univariate and multivariable analyses, craniospinal irradiation (CSI) was significantly associated with improved PFS in the NGGCT cohort.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study found an ASD prevalence in the pure germinoma cohort more than threefold greater than the national prevalence, suggesting an association between ASD and pure germinomas. Furthermore, patients with NDD and NGGCT had worse PFS, possibly due to fewer patients with NDD receiving CSI. Future prospective studies with larger cohorts are needed to examine associations between NDDs and IGCTs, and further characterize outcomes for patients with NDDs and IGCTs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pbc.28935","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,11]],"date-time":"2021-03-11T06:50:55Z","timestamp":1615445455000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Clinical
