Testicular cancer is a relatively common form of cancer.
It afflicts approximately 1 in 20,000 men. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be approximately 7,000 new cases of testicular cancer in the United States this year. While the disease can occur at any age, it most often strikes the young usually between ages 15 and 35. Fortunately, it's a cancer that can be cured. More than 90 percent of men who receive treatment will ultimately be cured.
