Overview

What is Testicular Cancer?
Testicular cancer is cancer that begins in one of the 2 egg-shaped male sex glands. These are called the testicles. They hang below the penis in a sac called the scrotum. Each testicle is slightly smaller than a golf ball. The testicles make several hormones. The main hormone is testosterone. The testicles also make sperm.

Statistics About Testicular Cancer
Some people use statistical reports to try to figure out their chance of getting cancer. Or they use them to try to figure out their chance of being cured. Statistics show what happens with large groups of people. Because no two people are alike, statistics can't be used to know or predict what will happen to a particular person.
