Testicular cancer is most common among males aged 15–40 years, particularly those in their mid-twenties. Over his lifetime, a man's risk of testicular cancer is roughly 1 in 250 (0.4%).Testicular cancer has one of the highest cure rates of all cancers: in excess of 90 percent; essentially 100 percent if it has not metastasized (spread). Even for the relatively few cases in which malignant cancer has spread widely, chemotherapy offers a cure rate of at least 85 per cent today. It should be remembered that  not all lumps on the testicles are tumours, and not all tumours are malignant; there are many other conditions such as testicular microlithiasis (calcification on the testicle), epididymal cysts, appendix testis (hydatid of Morgagni), and so on which may be painful but are non-cancerous. If you find a lump get it checked out by your GP.
