  • Title: [Epidemiology of tumors of the testis].
    Author: Mandron E, Schill H.
    Journal: Arch Anat Cytol Pathol; 1992; 40(4):190-4. PubMed ID: 1294047.
    Abstract:
    Testicular tumours are rare tumours affecting young adults (75% of tumours are diagnosed between the ages of 25 and 40 years). The descriptive epidemiological study of the data of the literature reveals a considerable improvement in the prognosis of testicular cancers, particularly since the introduction of cisplatin in the 1980. An epidemiological study conducted on a series of 200 testicular tumours treated at Val-de-Grace military hospital between 1979 and 1989 confirms this improvement with a mortality rate of 7.5% for all stages and histological types combined, with a follow-up of 2 to 12 years.
