The 5-year survival oscillates between 98 and 99% for purely local forms.
Testicular cancer mainly affects young adults: 85% of men diagnosed are between 15 and 49 years old. It is, in incidence, the first cancer in young men in France. About 2,700 new cases of cancer of the testis are registered annually in our country.
In 95% of cases, if the disease is diagnosed in time, prevention is almost synonymous with cure. Five-year survival varies between 98 and 99% for purely local forms, and is greater than 70% for metastatic forms. However, the risk of late diagnosis can lead to much more serious complications (infertility, erectile dysfunction, pulmonary and/or kidney toxicity, cardiovascular complications, Raynaud’s syndrome, etc.), hence the importance of screening (monthly palpation of the testicles and medical check-up with your attending physician in case of doubt).
