在过去的二十年里，美国的睾丸癌发病率显著增加。生殖细胞肿瘤是睾丸恶性肿瘤的主要类型。随着诊断和治疗方法的进步，生殖细胞肿瘤现在对治疗高度敏感，可以提供长期生存。据推测，由于单侧生殖细胞肿瘤患者存活率的提高，双侧生殖细胞肿瘤的发生率可能会增加。在这份报告中，作者介绍了一项对在德克萨斯大学安德森癌症中心接受治疗的男性患者进行的为期20年的双侧睾丸生殖细胞肿瘤的研究，重点是其发病率、组织学特征和临床特征。
The incidence of testicular carcinoma in the United States has increased significantly over the last two decades. Germ cell tumors form the majority of malignant testicular tumors. With advances in diagnosis and therapeutic approaches, germ cell tumors are now highly sensitive to treatment, providing long‐term survival. It has been speculated that the incidence of bilateral germ cell tumors may increase due to the improved survival of patients with unilateral germ cell tumors. In this report, the authors present a study of bilateral germ cell tumors of the testis in men who were treated at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center over a 20‐year period with emphasis on their incidence, histologic features, and clinical features.
