Overview
Prognosis of testicular cancer is generally good, and the 5-year survival rate is approximately 96.6% (2004-2010).Common complications of testicular cancer include metastasis, bleeding, infection, and infertility.
Natural History
Seminoma
- Seminoma tends to occur in middle aged people
- Rarely metastasize[1]
- Affects people in their 15 and 35 year old
Embryonal Cancer
- Median age is 30 years old[1]
- Has most of the component of mixed non seminoma germ tumor[1]
- Tend to metastasize early to lungs, retroperitomeun, and liver[2]
Choriocarcinoma
Complications
Common complications of testicular cancer include:
- Abdomen
- Lungs
- Retroperitoneal area
- Brain
- Post-surgery complications
Prognosis
- Between 2004 and 2010, the 5-year relative survival of patients with testicular cancer was 96.6%.[3]
- When stratified by age, the 5-year relative survival of patients with testicular cancer was 95.4% and 86.4% for patients <65 and ≥ 65 years of age respectively.[3]
- The survival of patients with testicular cancer varies with the stage of the disease. Shown below is a table depicting the 5-year relative survival by the stage of testicular cancer:[3]
| Stage | 5-year relative survival (%), (2004-2010) |
| All stages | 95.3% |
| Localized | 99.2% |
| Regional | 96% |
| Distant | 73.1% |
| Unstaged | 78.8% |
- Shown below is an image depicting the 5-year conditional relative survival (probability of surviving in the next 5-years given the cohort has already survived 0, 1, 3 years) between 1998 and 2010 of testicular cancer by stage at diagnosis according to SEER. These graphs are adapted from SEER: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program of the National Cancer Institute.[3]
