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

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

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

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.

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.

Seminomas are a type of testicular cancer that make up approximately 50% of all cases and are generally slow-growing cancers.

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

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