We estimated 5-year relative survival (5-year-RS) by histology and age based on period analysis.<h4>Results</h4>5-year-RS for testicular germ cell tumors was 96.7% and 96.3% in Germany and the U.S., respectively. 5-Year-RS for speCancer epidemiologySurvival after a diagnosis of testicular germ cell cancers in Germany and the United States, 2002-2006: a high resolution study by histology and age.PMC4024392108257Z99 CA999999Kieschke JEberle AKajuter HGEKID Cancer Survival Working GroupMattauch VGeiss KStabenow RMeyer MLuttmann SHolleczek BHentschel SKraywinkel KGondos ASirri EBrenner HEmrich KRusner CStang ATrabert BKatalinic AJansen LNennecke AfalseSurvival after a diagnosis of testicular germ cell cancers in Germany and the United States, 2002-2006: a high resolution study by histology and age.<h4>Introduction</h4>The aim of this study was to provide detailed age-specific (5-year age groups) and histology-specific (histologic subtypes of seminoma and nonseminoma) relative survival estimates of testicular germ cell cancer patients in Germany and the United States (U.S.) for the years 2002-2006 and to compare these estimates between countries.<h4>Methods</h4>We pooled data from 11 cancer registries of Germany and used data from the U.S. (SEER-13 database) including 11,508 and 10,774 newly diagnosed cases (1997-2006) in Germany and the U.S., respectively.
