Life-Saving Treatment for Watermelon-sized Germ Cell Tumor

When Nicholas Pastuovic began experiencing fatigue and shortness of breath, doctors thought it might be long COVID. Instead, a CT scan revealed he had a rare "watermelon-sized" germ cell tumor (GCT) in his chest. Because a GCT can be deadly, he underwent chemotherapy to shrink the chest wall tumor to a manageable size so Loyola Medicine’s Chief of Thoracic Surgery, Zaid Abdelsattar, MD, could safely remove it. Pastuovic is now celebrating two years of being cancer-free.
