Testicular cancer

چکیده
Testicular cancer is cancer that develops in the testicles, a part of the male reproductive system. Although testicular cancer can be derived from any cell type found in the testicles, more than 95% of testicular cancers are germ cell tumors. Most of the remaining 5% are sex cord-gonadal stromal tumors derived from Leydig cells or Sertoli cells. Over man's lifetime, his risk of testicular cancer is roughly 1 in 250 (0.4%). It is the most common cancer in males aged 20–39 years, the period of peak incidence, and is rarely seen before the age of 15 years. Children born with an undescended testicle have an increased risk of getting testicular cancer regardless of whether surgery is done to correct the problem.
