What is Testicular Cancer?

  • Overview: Testicular cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the testicles, which are responsible for producing male hormones and sperm. It is most common in younger men, especially those aged 15-35.
  • Importance of Early Detection: Testicular cancer has a high treatment success rate if detected early, making self-exams and awareness essential.

Causes of Testicular Cancer

  • Undescended Testicles (Cryptorchidism): Men with a history of undescended testicles have a higher risk.
  • Family History: A family history of testicular cancer can increase the likelihood of developing it.
  • Age: Although it can affect men of all ages, it is most common in younger men.
  • Genetic Factors: Certain genetic conditions, such as Klinefelter syndrome, may increase risk.
  • Ethnicity: Testicular cancer is more common in Caucasian men compared to other ethnic groups.
