Abstract
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).
