ABSTRACT
Introduction: among the neoplasms affecting males, testicular germ cell tumors account for 0,5-1 %. In the last four decades there has been an increase in the incidence of testicular cancer from 5,7 to 6,8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.Objective: to characterize the epidemiological clinical behavior and therapeutic management of patients with testicular cancer in Pinar del Rio from 2010 to 2019.
Methods: an observational, descriptive, retrospective study was carried out in Pinar del Río province from 2010 to 2019 which comprised the total number of patients diagnosed and treated for testicular cancer registered in the Cancer Care Center (III Congress). A data base was made where qualitative variables were expressed in absolute frequencies and relative frequencies in percentages.
Results: ages between 31 and 40 predominated (29,5 %) and white race (94,1 %); the most frequent reason for consultation was testicular enlargement (70,6 %). Histologically, seminoma predominated (58,8 %), with predominance of clinical stages IA and IB. There was a stable disease response in 41,2 %.
Conclusions: testicular tumors occurred more frequently in the fourth decade of life attending consultation for testicular enlargement; the most frequent histological type were seminomas in clinical stages IA and IB and in most of them there was a stable response of the disease.
