Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer is the leading cause of cancer for men in their 20s and 30s. When detected early, it is a highly treatable type of cancer.
Testicular cancer is highly curable, with survival rates well over 90%, especially if detected and treated early. Although it is rare, it is still the leading cause of cancer in young men in their 20s and 30s.
A lump on your testicle is typically one of the first signs of testicular cancer. A physical or self-exam may detect any problems with your testes. Swelling in the scrotum and testicle pain are also common symptoms of testicular cancer.
