The present study sought to determine to what extent there was a difference in ethnicity between age and stage of testicular cancer. The sample, from National Cancer Institute data, included 7,777 men with testicular cancer. A one-way ANOVA was used for significant differences among racial groups in age and stage of tumor at diagnosis. The main research variables were race, age at diagnosis, and tumor stage. Hispanic males were found to be diagnosed at the significantly youngest age (29.8 years old) and White males at the oldest age (35.0). Even with the oldest age at diagnosis, White males were diagnosed at the significantly lowest tumor stage (M = 2.3), which was highest for Black males (2.5). Minority males are diagnosed at the earliest age, yet their tumor stage is significantly higher than that for White males. Therefore nurses need to screen all males regardless of ethnicity for testicular cancer. |
