title: [Epidemiological analysis of testicular malignant neoplasm incidence and mortality in Poland 1963-1986].
abstract: Epidemiological analysis of both morbidity and mortality rates for testicular cancer in Poland between 1963 and 1986 was carried out. A particular attention was drawn to the period between 1981 and 1986, when a program of combined chemotherapy and surgery was introduced in Poland. The study aimed at analysing an effect of this combined treatment on mortality rate for testicular cancer. Between 1963 and 1986, a constant increase in morbidity for the testicular cancer was noted. Mortality rate increased between 1963 and 1983. This trend was inhibited between 1984 and 1986. "Splitting" of the morbidity and mortality curves was observed between 1984 and 1986. A decrease in mortality rate was noted at the constant morbidity for testicular tumors. It was particularly clear in younger age groups (15-39 years), as well as older age groups (60-64 years and over 75 years). A decrease in mortality rate for testicular tumors within 1984-1986 may be attributed to the introduction of combined treatment in Poland.
