Testicular Cancer
Cancer of the testicles is also one of the most treatable forms of cancer. Over 95% of men make a full recovery from testicular cancer.
Cancer of the testicle, also known as testicular cancer, is a relatively rare form of cancer. It accounts for approximately 0.7% of all cancers. In the UK, approximately 1,960 men are diagnosed with the condition each year and around 70 people die every year from testicular cancer.
Testicular cancer is different from many other types of cancer. Most cancers tend to affect older people, whereas testicular cancer is more common in young and middle-aged men. Approximately 50% of all cases of testicular cancer affect men who are under 35 years of age, and 90% of cases affect those who are under the of age 55.
