Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how rates of testicular cancer diagnosis in the UK compare with ratse in other G20 countries over the last five years.

Age-adjusted rates within the G20 for testicular cancer vary from 0.6 to 10.1 per 100,000 over the last five years. The United Kingdom value is 7.1 per 100,000. There are differences in data recording across the world which will at least partly account for the range of values seen.

The estimated incidence of testicular cancer in the G20 group in 2018 is published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer Global Cancer Observatory project. This can be viewed at the following link:
