[Particular aspects of testicular tumor in the elderly (author's transl)]

Malignant testicular tumors mainly occur in early adult life. 14 (7.8%) of our 180 patients with testicular tumors, treated from 1966 to 1976, were between 50 to 68 years of age. The pathological anatomical classification showed 9 germinal and 5 non-germinal tumors. To find out which tumor classification is the best for prognostic information and assessment of therapeutic consequences, we recommend setting up a central testicular tumor panel and register and refer to the multilateral study already initiated.
