Testicular Cancer is the most common cancer in young men aged 15-35. It is highly curable when detected early. However, about half of men with testicular cancer do not seek treatment until the cancer has spread beyond the testicles to other locations in the body. In most cases early stages of testicular cancer present themselves in a completely painless manner.
