Welcome to the National Germ Cell Group (NGCG)
National Germ Cell Group (NGCG) is the association of the specialist clinicians, nurses and supporting professionals who treat patients with germ cell cancer in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Germ Cell Cancer is rare and arises mainly in the testicle, but can present in the mediastinum, retroperitoneum and rarely in women in the ovary.
Originally formed as a group of specialist nurses in 2012 the group changed its remit in 2017. The original team were Sue Brand, Wendy Ansell, Paul Hutton, Catherine Pettersen and Zoe O’Neil.
In 2017, we were very lucky to have the support of respected clinicians Professor Jonathan Joffe; Dr Sara Stoneham; Dr Jonathan Shamash and Professor Andrew Protheroe all of whom were members of the NCRI Clinical Studies Group. We welcomed the support of charities and patient groups including the Testicular Cancer Network (TCN).
