To study the effect of cryptorchidism on clinical stage (CS) of testicular seminoma (TS).

In the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database (2006‐2016), people with TS were enrolled in our research. Multivariable logistic regression models were constructed to compare the impact of cryptorchidism on CS.

This research was based on the registry information of 12,991 TS patients. All patients with a median age of 36 (13–107) years were pathologically diagnosed with orchiectomy or needle biopsy specimens. Patients with CS I, II, and III TS accounted for 70.68% (n = 9182), 8.30% (n = 1078), and 5.75% (n = 747) of all patients, respectively; still there were 15.27% (n = 1984) of patients whose CS could not be identified or was not available. Among all included patients, 43.45% (n = 5644) of them had normal testis, 2.93% (n = 272) had cryptorchidism, and the …
