Testicular cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the testicles, the male reproductive glands located in the scrotum. The exact cause of testicular cancer is unknown, but risk factors include a family history of the disease, personal history of undescended testicles, abnormal testicular development, and a history of testicular cancer in the other testicle. Symptoms of testicular cancer include pain, swelling, or a lump in the testicle, and it is most commonly diagnosed in men between the ages of 15 and 35. Treatment options typically include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. With early detection and treatment, the prognosis for testicular cancer is generally good, with high survival rates.
