Abstract

Testicular malignancy is the most common cancer affecting men 15–35 years of age, and its incidence appears to be rising in the Western Hemisphere. In the United States the incidence has been rising 2.5% per year, and it was estimated that in 1995 approximately 7100 cases and 370 deaths secondary to testicular cancer would occur.1 Testicular tumors are uncommon in children and rare in neonates (reported incidence 0.5–2.0 per 100,000 with peak incidence at 2 years of age).2,3 During the 1990s testicular cancer has become one of the most curable solid neoplasms, with a 5-year survival exceeding 90%.4 This high percent is largely credited to more effective treatment and refinement of the staging modalities.
