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:

  • 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]
