When caught in stage I, the survival rate for testicular cancer can be as high as nearly 100%, but it decreases as cancer advances.

Testicular cancer rates are 4 to 5 times higher in white men than in African American and Asian-American men.

Even though testicular cancer can occur at any age, it typically affects males between 15 and 35 years old.

Common symptoms of testicular cancer include a lump or enlargement in either testicle, a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum, and a dull ache in the abdomen or groin.

Testicular cancer is relatively rare, accounting for about 1% of all male cancers but is the most common cancer in American men aged 15 to 35.

Testicular cancer has a high five-year survival rate of over 95% when detected early.

Risk factors include undescended testicles, family history, age, and being of Caucasian descent.

Men with a history of undescended testicle(s) (cryptorchidism) are at increased risk of developing testicular cancer.

The two main types of testicular cancer are seminomas, which grow slowly and are sensitive to radiation therapy, and non-seminomas, which are a more aggressive type of tumor.
