Information About Testicular Cancer
5. Risk Factors
Risk factors for developing testicular cancer include being born with undescended testicles, having a history of infertility, or having certain inherited genetic conditions, like Klinefelter syndrome.
Age and race are also contributing factors as testicular cancer is more common in men under 35 and non-Hispanic whites. Having testicular cancer in one testicle increases the risk of developing it in the other one.
