Overview

Testicular germ cell tumor accounts for around 1-2% of all malignancies in males up to the age of 65, but they are the most common nonhematologic malignancy in males 15-49 years old. Approximately 50% of germ cell tumours are seminomas. The mean age at diagnosis of testicular seminoma is between 15 and 35 years. This is about 5 to 10 years older than men with other germ cell tumors of the testis. Testicular seminoma usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race. African american individuals are less likely to develop testicular seminoma.

Epidemiology

Prevalence

Testicular germ cell tumor accounts for around 1-2% of all malignancies in males up to the age of 65, but they are the most common nonhematologic malignancy in males 15-49 years old. Approximately 50% of germ cell tumours are seminomas.[1]

Age

The mean age at diagnosis of testicular seminoma is between 15 and 35 years. This is about 5 to 10 years older than men with other germ cell tumors of the testis.[2]

Race

Testicular seminoma usually affects individuals of the Caucasian race. African american individuals are less likely to develop testicular seminoma.[1]
