## Overview

Testicular cancer begins in the testicles, the hormone- and sperm-producing glands located within the scrotum. Although it is a relatively rare cancer overall, it is the most common cancer diagnosed in young men between the ages of 15 and 45.

Testicular cancer is one of the most treatable solid tumors, with excellent outcomes even when the disease has spread beyond the testicle. Treatment is guided by the specific type and stage of the cancer and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of approaches.

## Signs & Symptoms

Testicular cancer often develops with few early symptoms, but certain changes can signal a need for evaluation. Common signs and symptoms include:

- A lump or noticeable enlargement in one testicle
- A feeling of heaviness or fullness in the scrotum
- A dull ache or discomfort in the lower abdomen or groin
- A sudden buildup of fluid in the scrotum
- Pain, tenderness, or a change in the way a testicle feels
- Breast tenderness or breast tissue enlargement
- Back pain, which may occur if the cancer has spread

Most cases involve only one testicle. While these symptoms can be caused by conditions other than cancer, it is important to have any changes checked promptly.
