睾丸癌如果治疗得当是可以治愈的。我们使用国家死亡率数据来比较西欧和东欧，美国和日本的疾病的具体死亡率。自20世纪70年代以来，美国和西欧的睾丸癌死亡率下降了约70%。然而，在东欧，睾丸癌的死亡率自20世纪80年代末才开始下降，而且下降速度比其他地方慢得多（约20%）。因此，许多可以避免的死亡，主要是年轻人的死亡，仍在东欧发生。必须在这些国家实施有效的睾丸癌治疗策略。
Testicular cancer is curable if treated appropriately. We used national mortality data to compare specific death rates from the disorder in western and eastern Europe, the USA, and Japan. Testicular cancer mortality rates have fallen by about 70% in the USA and western Europe since the 1970s. In eastern Europe, however, death rates from testicular cancer have been declining only since the late 1980s, and at a much slower rate than that recorded elsewhere (about 20%). Consequently, many avoidable deaths, mainly in young adults, are still occurring in eastern Europe. Available effective treatment strategies for testicular cancer must be implemented in these countries.
