In response to a report that testicular cancer incidence in non-Hispanic White mates in Los Angeles county had fallen in the 1990s, particularly in young men, the authors analyzed data collected by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program from 1973 to 1995. While the incidence rate of testicular cancer in US White males ages 15–64 years did stabilize in the first half of the 1990s, after a number of years of a steady increase, there was no indication of an actual decline.
