title: [Epidemiology of testicular tumors].
abstract: Testicular tumours are rare tumours affecting young adults (75% of tumours are diagnosed between the ages of 25 and 40 years). The descriptive epidemiological study of the data of the literature reveals a considerable improvement in the prognosis of testicular cancers, particularly since the introduction of cisplatin in the 1980. An epidemiological study conducted on a series of 200 testicular tumours treated at Val-de-Grace military hospital between 1979 and 1989 confirms this improvement with a mortality rate of 7.5% for all stages and histological types combined, with a follow-up of 2 to 12 years.
