Testicular cancer is a rare but relatively treatable disease that starts in the testicles, which are the male reproductive organs that create sperm and testosterone. Young males, especially those between the ages of 15 and 35, are most likely to get this malignancy. A lump or swelling in one testicle that doesn't cause pain is usually the main indicator. Sometimes, though, it could hurt or be uncomfortable. Most cases are identified early by completing a self-exam or going to the doctor.

Seminomas typically grow slowly and remain stationary, whereas non-seminomas can grow and spread more rapidly. A physical exam, scrotal ultrasound, and blood tests for tumour markers are all popular techniques to find out what's wrong. Removing the affected testicle by surgery is usually the first step in treatment. If diagnosed early, the outlook is very good, with more than 95% of patients expected to live for five years.
