Abstract 513MO

Background

Clinical observations indicate a higher prevalence of psychiatric disorders, in particular neurodevelopmental disorders, among testicular germ cell cancer (TGCC) patients. Our aim was to investigate if history of specific psychiatric disorders is associated with increased risk of TGCC and/or increased mortality.

Methods

We conducted a nested case-control study including 6,250 TGCC patients diagnosed 1992-2014, individually matched to 62,500 controls. Using conditional logistic regression, we calculated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the association between history of psychiatric diagnoses and TGCC risk. Among the cases only, we used a cohort study design and Cox regression to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs of the association between psychiatric diagnosis and all-cause and TGCC-specific mortality.

Results

History of a neurodevelopmental disorder (i.e., attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities) was associated with an increased risk of seminoma (OR 1.54; 95% CI 1.09-2.19). Seminoma patients with neurodevelopmental disorders were also younger (34 versus 38 years, p=0.004) and more often presented with stage IV disease (5.4% versus 1.2%) than those without. A decreased risk of seminoma was seen for patients with psychotic disorders (OR 0.62; 95% CI 0.40-0.96). Psychiatric history overall was not associated with TGCC. Patient history of any psychiatric disorder was associated with an increased all-cause mortality (HR 2.91; 95% CI 2.11-4.02) and an increased TGCC-specific mortality (HR 1.79; 95% CI 1.04-3.08).

Conclusions

We report, for the first time, an association between neurodevelopmental disorders and testicular seminoma. Furthermore, we found an increased TGCC-specific mortality for TGCC-patients with psychiatric disorders.
