Testicular cancer
Testicular cancers are relatively rare, but treatable, and occur predominantly in young and middle-aged men. Testicular cancers are also called germ cell or gonadal cancers, which classifies them within the group of cancers arising from reproductive organs or gonads. Learn more about testicular cancer.
