CHAPTER 4X<br />

Tumours of the of the Testis Xxxand<br />

Germ Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<br />

cell tumours are the most frequent and important<br />

neoplasms xxxxxxxx. at this site. They mainly affect young males and<br />

their incidence is steadily increasing in affluent societies. In<br />

several Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<br />

regions, including North America and Northern Europe,<br />

they xxxxxxxx. have become the most common cancer in men aged 15 -<br />

44. There is circumstantial epidimiological evidence that the<br />

steep Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<br />

increase in new cases is associated with the Western<br />

lifestyle, xxxxxxxx. characterized by high caloric diet and lack of physical<br />

exercise.<br />

Despite the increase in incidence rates, mortality from testicular<br />

cancer has sharply declined due to a very effective<br />

chemotherapy that includes cis-platinum. In most countries<br />

with an excellent clinical oncology infrastructure, 5-year<br />

survival rates approach 95%.
