Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- Testicular cancer is the most common type of cancer in young males.[1][2]
- Germ cell tumors are about 98% of testicular cancer.[3]
- In the United States, the estimate prevalence of testicular cancer is approximately 9,310 new cases in 2018.[4]
- Sex cord stromal testicular tumors are about less than 5%.
Incidence
- The incidence of testicular cancer is approximately 5.7 per 100,000 men per year based on 2011-2015 report in the United States.[4]
Age
- Testicular cancer is more common among men aged 20-44 years old.[2]
- Median age is 33 years old.[2]
- Germ cell tumors of the testis are the most common cancer in young adults.[1]
- Median age is 33-39 years old for seminomas germ cell type of testicular cancer[3]
- Median age is 25-29 years old for non-seminoma germ cell type of testicular cancer[3]
- Median age is 50-54 years old for spermatocytic germ cell type of testicular cancer[3]
Mortality rate
- The 5 years of survival rate for patients with testicular cancer are 95.3% in 2008-2014.[4]
Race
- Testicular cancer is more common in white males compared to other races.[4]
- The incidence of testicular cancer in African American is lower than that among white people;[5] however, African American subjects tend to present at later stages of the disease due to a delayed presentation.[5]
- Shown below is a table depicting the age-adjusted incidence of testicular cancer by race in 2011-2015 in the United States.[4]
| All Races | White | Black | Asian/Pacific Islander | Hispanic | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age-adjusted incidence | 5.7 per 100,000 | 6.8 per 100,000 | 1.5 per 100,000 | 2.3 per 100,000 | 5.3 per 100,000 |
Developed Countries
- The highest rates of incidence in New Zealand, followed by United Kingdom, Australia, Sweden, United States, Poland, and Spain.[1]
Developing Countries
- Testicular cancer is uncommon in Asia and Africa.[3]
- The lowest incidence of testicular cancer is in India.[1]
