Testicular Cancer
Males with testicles are all at risk of developing testicular cancer. However, the predominant age for this condition ranges from 15 to 35 years. It's important for any swelling, lump or mass to be examined by a physician, who can order specific lab and imaging tests to confirm a diagnosis of testicular cancer.10Testicular Cancer Screening (PDQ®)–Patient Version.

Even with higher reported rates of testicular cancer, it's rarely fatal and has good survival rates due to therapeutic advances. Early detection is key to a good outcome.10Testicular Cancer Screening (PDQ®)–Patient Version.
