摘要
Testicular germ cell tumours are the most common malignancy in young adult males. Recent data suggest that the predominant histological subtype appears to be shifting towards seminomas, which is mirrored in an increasing age at presentation. However, as nonseminomatous tumours present earlier, recent declines in its incidence might be more informative of overall trends.
