Approximately 8,000 men each year will be diagnosed with testicular cancer. This type of cancer occurs when cancer cells first form in one or both testicles. Although it is not known exactly what causes this disease, there are several risk factors that may increase your chances of developing it. Some of these risk factors include being Caucasian, having an undescended testicle, and having a family history of the disease. More than 95 percent of cases of testicular cancer can be cured. Possible treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
