| Popis | Incidence of testicular cancer in the Slovak Republic (SR) sharply increased in 1968-2006 (annual change 0.195/100,000, 95% CI = -0.178-0.212, p < .0001). Mortality was stabilized in 1968-2006 (-0.005/100,000/year, 95% CI = -0.011-0.001, p = .148), however, from 1990, it had a mildly significant decreasing trend. The 5-year relative survival for patients from the cohort 1993-1997 reached 91.7% (95% CI = 87.5-94.7), for the cohort 1998-2002, it was 93.2% (95% CI = 89.5-95.8). The average age of patients with seminomas was 30-41 years (25-75% quantile), for nonseminomas 23-34 years (25-75% quantile). |
