[No Differences in Testis Cancer Outcomes between urban and rural regions in the Canton of Berne].

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Testis cancer is highly curable. However, historical data point to differences between urban and rural areas with more advanced diseases at presentation and worse outcomes in the latter. In a cohort of 296 men with testis cancer diagnosed and treated at the Inselspital Berne between 2010 and 2020, we found no clinically relevant differences in presentation and outcomes depending on their residential area.
