Testicular Cancer

Testicular cancer appears at two different ages: the first in young men during late high school or college, the second in the mid to late 50s.

• Males should perform monthly testicular examinations beginning at age 15.
• Males with a history of undescended testicles are at increased risk of developing testicular cancer.
• Any male noticing an abnormality in the scrotum or testicle (pain, swelling on one side) should seek prompt medical attention.
