Testicular cancer - Cancer Science

What is Testicular Cancer?

Testicular cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the testicles, which are part of the male reproductive system. It is relatively rare compared to other cancers but is the most common cancer in young men aged 15-35 years. Early detection and treatment are crucial for successful outcomes.

What are the Risk Factors?

Several risk factors can increase the likelihood of developing testicular cancer. These include:

1. Cryptorchidism (undescended testicle)
2. Family history of testicular cancer
3. HIV infection
4. Personal history of testicular cancer
5. Age (most common in young men)
6. Race (more common in white men than in men of other races)

What are the Symptoms?

Early-stage testicular cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they can include:

1. A lump or swelling in
