We aimed to test for survival differences between testicular pure teratoma vs. mixed germ cell tumor (GCT) patients in a stage-specific fashion. Pure teratoma and mixed GCT in primary tumor specimens were identified within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2004–2019). Kaplan–Meier curves depicted five-year overall survival (OS) and subsequently, cumulative incidence plots depicted cancer-specific mortality (CSM) and other-cause mortality (OCM) in a stage-specific fashion. Multivariable competing risks regression (CRR) models were used. Of 9049 patients, 299 (3%) had pure teratoma. In stage I, II and III, five-year OS rates differed between pure teratoma and mixed GCT (stage I: 91.6 vs. 97.2%, p < 0.001; stage II: 100 vs. 95.9%, p < 0.001; stage III: 66.8 vs. 77.8%, p = 0.021). In stage I, survival differences originated from higher OCM (6.4 vs. 1...
