Testicular Cancer is a relatively rare form of
cancer. Although it accounts for only 1 percent of
cancers in men, testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men
between the ages of 20 and 34. About 75% of cases of testicular cancer
occur in men between 20 and 49. Nevertheless, testicular cancer is one
of the most treatable forms of cancer, with cure rates approaching 100%
if detected early. Additionally, testicular cancer is more common in
white men than black or Asian men.
Most testicular cancer
cases are found by men themselves when doing a self-examination or by
accident. The testicles are smooth, oval-shaped, and rather firm. Men
who examine themselves routinely become familiar with the way their
testicles normally feel. Any changes in the way they feel from
month to month should be checked by a doctor, preferably a urologist.
