Testicular cancer

In 2024 it is estimated that 9,780 men will develop testis cancer in the United States. Testicular cancer is not common: about 1 of every 250 males will develop testicular cancer at some point during their lifetime.

The average age of males when first diagnosed with testicular cancer is about 33. This is largely a disease of young and middle-aged men, but about 6% of cases occur in children and teens, and about 8% occur in men older than 55.

Because testicular cancer usually can be treated successfully, a man’s lifetime risk of dying from this cancer is very low: about 1 in 5,000.
