Article Synopsis
- Effective treatments for testicular cancer have been available since the 1970s, but significant differences in survival rates were found across nine European countries according to the EUROCARE study.
- The study analyzed clinical records of 1,350 cases diagnosed from 1987 to 1992, revealing that ten-year survival rates varied widely, from 63% in Estonia to 94% in Switzerland for seminomas, and 47% in Estonia to 90% in Yorkshire for non-seminomas.
- Multivariable analyses indicated that survival differences were largely due to variations in stage at diagnosis, with higher death hazard ratios in countries like Estonia and Poland suggesting potential inadequacies in treatment availability.
