MethodsWe extracted all 292 cases of testicular cancer diagnosed in males aged 0-24 years during 1968-2003 from a population-based specialist regional registry. Negative binomial regression was used to examine the relationship between incidence and both the Townsend deprivation score (and component variables) and small-area population density. Cox regression was used to analyse the relationship between survival and both deprivation and population density. ResultsDecreased risk was associated with living in areas of higher household overcrowding ConclusionsThis study has shown that increased risk of testicular cancer is associated with an aspect of more advantaged living. In contrast, greater deprivation confers worse survival prospects.3
