Incidence rates of testicular cancer (TC) have been increasing in many countries since at least the mid-20th century without clear explanation. Examining the varying trends across countries and time provides clues to understanding the causes of TC. We have presented incidence data from 41 countries and evaluated incidence trends for the 35-year period from 1978 to 2012. Cancer registry data from Cancer Incidence in Five Continents (CI5) Volumes V-XI, CI5plus, and the NORDCAN database were analyzed. Age-standardised rates of testicular cancer overall and by histologic type were calculated. A joinpoint regression model of the natural log-transformed rates was used to calculate the average annual percent change (AAPC) in incidence. Age-period-cohort modeling was used to examine the effect of birth cohort on rates. While the highest incidence of testicular cancer remains in Northern Europe, the gap is closing between higher- and lower-incidence regions. Age-period-cohort modeling found a flattening of risk among recent cohorts in Denmark and the United Kingdom, a steady increase in risk in the United States (particularly for seminomas), and an increase in risk among more recent cohorts in Costa Rica, Croatia and Slovakia. The gap between low and high incidence countries is closing due to increases in the former and stabilisation in the latter. Understanding the causes of these and other differences in incidence rates between, and within, countries may help to further our understanding of the aetiology of this cancer. We examined the rates of testicular cancer in different countries over time. Rates have been increasing, although rates in high incidence countries seem to be slowing down, while rates in low incidence countries are catching up. These trends might help us understand what is causing testicular cancer in general.
