Testicular cancer most frequently occurs when a tumor forms in the germ cells of the testicles. There are two types of germ cell tumors: Seminoma grows slowly and primarily affects older men while non-seminoma grows quickly and primarily affects younger men. Its most common symptom manifests as a lump in the testicle. Though it is a rare cancer, it is the most common cancer in males in their late teens through 30s. Testicular cancer has a very high cure rate. Fertility may be poor during the two years before testicular cancer is discovered. Although only one to three percent of men with testicular cancer get cancer in both testicles, the cancer-free testicle may not function normally.
