Abstract

This is a retrospective, descriptive study with longitudinal follow-up aimed to describe the clinical and subclinical characteristics and evaluate the survival time of patients with testicular cancer at K Hospital from January 2015 to June 2022. Among the 61 patients in the study, the average age was 31.0 years old. The proportions of patients with stage I, II and III were 67.2%, 22.9% and 9.8%, respectively. Seminoma accounted for 60.7% and nonseminoma accounted for 39.3%. The average disease-free survival time was 68.9 months. The 5-year disease-free survival rate was 79.9%. The average overall survival was 74.1 months. The overall 5-year survival rate was 87.6%. Compared with the group of nonseminoma patients, patients with seminoma had siegnificantly higher 5-year disease-free survival rate (93.3% vs 57.1%; p = 0.007) and overall 5-year survival rate (96.8% vs 72.4%; p = 0.023).
