Cancer of the testis - A summary table of the main statistics for male genital organ cancers.
Below are the most recently updated data. Please note:
- Within each page some files are quite large and may take a few minutes to download.
- You may need to use the drop-down menus within the spreadsheets to define your selections of 'Area of Residence', 'Sex', and 'Cancer site/type' to find the data that you require.

Summary statistics for male genital organ cancers
| Scotland | Cancer type | |
|---|---|---|
| Prostate | Testis | |
| Rank - incidence | 1 | 16 |
| Rank - mortality | 2 | 32 |
| Percentage frequency of all cancers | 19.3% | 1.3% |
| Number of new cases diagnosed in 2011 | 2,806 | 196 |
| Number of deaths recorded in 2011 | 900 | 1 |

| Change in mortality from 2001 to 2011 | -12.4% | -56.6% |
| 1 year relative survival for patients diagnosed between 2003 and 2007 | 95.6% | 97.7% |
| 5 year relative survival for patients diagnosed between 2003 and 2007 | 85.5% | 95.8% |
Notes:
1. Relative survival figures are not available for testicular cancer because of small numbers for age groups 75-84 and 85-99, thus figures for all age groups could not be calculated.
2. Survival figures are not age standardised.
3. Change in incidence and mortality is estimated by Poisson regression.
