Overview

The incidence of testicular cancer is approximately 5.7 per 100,000 men per year based on 2011-2015 report in the United States. Testicular cancer is the most common type of cancer in young males. Germ cell tumors are about 98% of testicular cancer. About 55% of germ cell tumors are seminomas.The prevalence of testicular cancer is estimated to be 9,310 new cases in 2018. Seminoma commonly affects individuals young adults 15 and 35 years of age. Seminoma is usually first diagnosed among 34 years (median, 39.5 years). The majority of seminoma cases are reported in Europe, Scandinavia and North America.

Epidemiology

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.[1]

Prevalence

Age

  • Seminoma commonly affects individuals young adults 15 and 35 years of age.[5]
  • Seminoma is usually first diagnosed among 34 years (median, 39.5 years).[6]

Race

  • Seminoma usually affects individuals of the white race. Black individuals are less likely to develop seminoma (ratio of 5 : 1).[7]

Gender

  • Seminoma affects exclusively in men.

Region

  • The majority of seminoma cases are reported in Europe, Scandinavia and North America.[8]
