During a 15-year period from 1980 to 1995, 63 patients from the Geelong region of Victoria presented with germ cell neoplasm.
In this retrospective review performed by studying hospital records, treating specialists' notes and by telephone interviews, 61 of 63 patients were identified.
A tumour incidence of four cases per 100,000 male population per year with an overall cancer-specific survival of 95% is demonstrated. Follow-up ranged from 18 months to 15 years. The incidence of seminoma was 30%; patients with seminoma presented at a later stage than those with non-seminoma.
The present study demonstrates the increasing incidence of testicular tumour in the Geelong region, and the excellent prognosis of this disease with management outside of the tertiary referral centre.
在1980年至1995年的15年期间,维多利亚州吉朗地区有63例患者患有生殖细胞肿瘤。
通过研究医院记录、治疗专家的笔记并进行电话访谈进行这项回顾性研究,确定了63例患者中的61例。
显示每年每10万男性人口中有4例肿瘤发生率,总体癌症特异性生存率为95%。随访时间从18个月到15年不等。精原细胞瘤的发生率为30%;精原细胞瘤患者比非精原细胞瘤患者就诊时的分期更晚。
本研究表明吉朗地区睾丸肿瘤的发病率在上升,并且在三级转诊中心以外进行管理时,这种疾病的预后良好。
