BACKGROUND: Although rising incidence rates of testicular germ cell tumors have been well documented in white men, relatively little is known about rates in men of Hispanic origin. In the current study, the authors compared germ cell tumor trends between men of Hispanic and non-Hispanic origin as a function of age at diagnosis. METHODS: Trends in testicular germ cell tumor incidence among white men were analyzed according to Hispanic ethnicity in 2 data sets of the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program, spanning from 1992 to 2010 and from 2000 to 2010 and sampling 15% and 28% of the United States population, respectively. Rates were age-adjusted to the year 2000 US standard population. RESULTS: Between 1992 and 2010, the annual incidence of testicular germ cell tumors among Hispanic whites ages 15 to 39 years increased 58%, from 7.18 cases per 100,000 in 1992 to 11.34 cases per 100,000 by 2010 (P
