Testicular cancer is a cancer of the testicle.
It's a malignancy of the gonads, meaning the testicles, in the male. It used to have a high mortality rate, but in the last decade, with newer modalities of therapy, that has dropped from 60 or 70 percent to 10 percent. So, it's still fatal, just not at the rate it was before. Few children at age 14 may realize the importance of measuring their testicles. They may discover a lump.
