Testicular Cancer is the Most Common Cancer in Young Men Between the Ages of 15 and 35

Testicular cancer is one of the most common cancers in young men between the ages of 15 and 35, but the disease also occurs in other age groups, so all men should be aware of its symptoms.

While testicular cancer is common among young men, young men typically do not get a lot of cancer, so overall testicular cancer is a relatively rare disease.

In the year 2000, an estimated 7600 cases of testicular cancer will be diagnosed in the United States, and a little less than 400 of them will die.

Caucasians are more likely to get it than Hispanics, and much more likely to get it than Blacks or Asians.

The incidence of TC is highest in Denmark, and lowest in the far east. Disturbingly, the incidence of testicular cancer around the world has basically doubled in the past 30-40 years.
