At Significantly Higher Risk
• For men between 20 and 34 years old, testis tumors make up 22 percent of all cancers and rank first in cancer
incidence. It is the second most common cancer for men aged 35 to 39 years and third for those 15 to 19.
• American white males have a rate four times that of black males.
At Slightly Higher Risk
• Uncommonly, tumors are found in men with fertility problems. About 5 percent of men cured of testis cancer
are at risk to develop another in the remaining testis within 25 years.
