Summary

Male genital cancer incidence, particularly prostate and testicular cancers, has risen. Increased prostate adenocarcinoma and testis germ cell tumors highlight the need for further research into causes for prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Epidemiology
  • Urologic Oncology

Background:

  • Male genital cancers constitute a significant portion of new cancer diagnoses in American males.
  • This study analyzes data from 1973-1987 to understand trends in these cancers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the incidence, stage at diagnosis, and survival rates of male genital system cancers.
  • To focus on the dominant histologic types within the prostate, testis, penis, and scrotum.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program.
  • Analyzed histologic data from 1973-1987 for male genital cancers.
  • Focused on incidence, diagnostic stage, and survival for major histologic types.

Main Results:

  • A rapid increase in male genital cancer incidence was observed during the study period.
  • Prostate cancers (predominantly adenocarcinomas) accounted for over 92% of cases.
  • Testicular germ cell cancers were common in younger men but declined with age; survival improved significantly.
  • Blacks had higher prostate cancer rates, while whites had higher testicular cancer rates.

Conclusions:

  • The rising incidence of prostate adenocarcinomas and testicular germ cell tumors necessitates further etiological research.
  • Understanding the causes is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies for male genital cancers.
