Testicular Cancer

Causes

There's no known cause for testicular cancer. Below are some risk factors for developing testicular cancer:

  • family history of testicular cancer
  • previous cancer in one testicle
  • tobacoo use
  • undescended testis

Some studies suggest infertility as a risk factor for developing testicular cancer, but this is not yet proven. There is no association between testicular cancer and vasectomy, diet, or trauma.
