Metastatic testicular cancer (TC) presentations and outcomes: A contemporary analysis based on the National Cancer Database (NCDB).

e17016 Background: While most cases of testicular cancers are cured, patients with metastatic or refractory disease continue to have a poor prognosis in recent years (Shah et al; Urology 2023). We sought to determine sites of metastases and survival based on the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Methods: We extracted patient-level data from the NCDB during 2004 to 2020, and identified incidence, demographics, regional differences, treatment, metastatic sites and outcomes in men who had testicular cancer diagnoses (non-seminoma, NS; seminoma, S) with differences in metastatic presentation and outcomes. Results: There were 89550 pts in all, 51623 S pts and 37927 NS pts. Median age for S pts was 37 years and NS was 29 years. 81571 pts were White, 2860 pts were Black. 5396 S pts identified as Hispanic (H) and 5609 NS pts H with other races/unknown for the rest. More S patients were treated at comprehensive community cancer programs (17%) compared to NS pts (6.1%). The majority of patients had a Charlson-Deyo Score of 0 (92.7% of S pts and 93.7% of NS pts), had private insurance (74.1% S pts, 69.1% NS pts). Most were diagnosed with Stage I (29.6%) and Stage II and III (16.3%) though it was unknown/missing for 54%. Overall survival (OS) was better for S compared to NS in all pts (p<0.0001), and in stages II & III (p<0.001). OS was similar for S compared to NS for brain metastasis presentation (p=0.6776), lung (p=0.8967), liver (p=0.1688), but better for S compared to NS for bone metastases (p=0.0002) and distant lymph nodes (p=0.0.0392). Conclusions: Our analysis reveals some differences in survival trends with better survival in seminoma compared to non-seminoma in bone and distant lymph node metastases though not for brain, lung and liver metastases, highlighting the need for better therapies for the poorest prognostic groups of TC patients.
