Summary
The incidence of testicular cancer has increased steadily over the past 20 years in the United States and Europe [1,2,3]. Data from other parts of the world shows a similar trend of increasing incidence [4]. Based on data from GLOBOCAN 2012, Norway has the highest age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) of 12.2 per 100,000 citizens. Other European countries have a high ASR, most of which above 7.0 [5]. Israel has the highest ASR among all Asian countries [5]. There are three large and distinct sub-populations in Israel: Ashkenazi Jews-descendants of Jews from central and eastern Europe; Sephardi Jews who are descendants of Jews from Iberia and Israeli Arabs. The incidence of testicular cancer is steadily increasing in most parts of the world, with European countries leading the list. Israel has several sub-populations with various ethnics and potentially significant differences in incidence
