Diagnostic Radiation May Up Risk for Testicular Cancer
Testicular germ cell tumor risk elevated with exposure to X-ray and CT below the waist, GI series, or barium enema.
Uniform Care of Testicular Cancer Overcame Sociodemographic Factors
Guideline-directed care resulted in equivalent outcomes independent of hospital setting.
Standardized Treatment Improves Outcomes in Germ Cell Tumors
Outcomes similar for patients treated at public safety net hospital, academic tertiary care center.

Greatest increase in incidence between 2001 to 2016 seen for Asian/Pacific Islanders, followed by Hispanics.
Risk Factors for Contralateral Testicular Tumors Identified
