Survival differences by race/ethnicity among children and adolescents diagnosed with germ cell tumors
International Journal of Cancer Jul 20, 2019
Williams LA, et al. - Researchers investigated germ cell tumors (GCTs) survival differences according to race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander [API], Hispanic) separately for males and females aged 0–19 years at diagnosis using the SEER 18 registries (2000–2015). The analysis revealed that Hispanic males have increased risk of death after a testicular GCT diagnosis, but this risk was mediated by stage of the disease. The observed racial/ethnic survival disparities among API males and Hispanic males with extragonadal tumors may be influenced by other unidentified factors, including differences in exposures, tumor biology or treatment received. No significant racial/ethnic survival differences were seen among females. The best survival was seen in non-Hispanic white males.
