You might find lumps, swelling or other symptoms of testicular cancer on your own. They can be detected during an exam by a health care provider too. You'll need other tests to see if testicular cancer is causing your symptoms.

Your risk of developing cancer depends on many factors. This includes things like whether you smoke and have a healthy balanced diet, as well as genetic and environmental factors.
In the United States, there are about 10,000 new cases of testicular cancer each year. The average age of diagnosis is 33 years old, and it's the most common cancer in men between the ages of 20 and 40. However, testicular cancer can occur at any age, with about 6% of cases in children and teens, and about 7% in men over 55.
How serious testicular cancer is depends on the type of testicular cancer, how big it is and if it has spread.
The first sign of testicular cancer often is a bump or lump on a testicle. The cancer cells can grow quickly and they often spread outside the testicle to other parts of the body.
Prostate cancer occurs when some of the cells in the prostate reproduce far more rapidly than normal, resulting in a tumor. Prostate cancer often grows slowly to start with and may never cause any problems. But some men have prostate cancer that is more likely to spread. In this article, we'll discuss conditions that may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer often grows slowly to start with and may never cause any problems. But some men have prostate cancer that is more likely to spread. In this article, we'll discuss two tests that are commonly used to screen prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer occurs when some of the cells in the prostate reproduce far more rapidly than normal, resulting in a tumor. Prostate cancer often grows slowly to start with and may never cause any problems. But some men have prostate cancer that is more likely to spread. These prostate cancer cells, if left untreated, may spread from the prostate and invade distant parts of the body, particularly the lymph nodes and bones, producing secondary tumors in a process known as metastasis.
Only men have a prostate gland. The prostate gland is usually the size and shape of a walnut and grows bigger as you get older. It sits underneath the bladder and surrounds the urethra, which is the tube men urinate through. Its main job is to help make semen – the fluid that carries sperm.
