Testicular cancer incidence to rise by 25% by 2025 in Europe?

A paper led by scientists of the International Agency for Research on Cancer predicts there will be 23,000 new cases of testicular cancer annually in Europe by 2025, a rise of 24% from 2005. The predictions are based on an extrapolation of recent trends in recorded incidence from high-quality population-based cancer registries in Europe using age-period-cohort models. Read more here.
