Cancer of the male sex organ (tes ticle) that normally
produces the hormone testosterone. One of the most common cancers in young men.
Most testicular cancers are found by men themselves as a lump in the testicle. The
risk of cancer of the testicles is increased in males whose testicles did not move
down normally into the scrotum (holding sac for the testicles) during development
if the problem is not corrected in early childhood. This condition is referred to
as undescended testicles. When a growth in the testicle is detected, cancer is confirmed
after surgical removal of the affected testicle (orchiectomy) and examination of
the tissue under a microscope. Testicular cancer is almost always curable if it
is found early.
