What are the chances of getting testicular cancer?
A. The American Cancer Society says that a man’s lifetime chance of getting testicular cancer is 1 in 300. However, due to successful treatment, the risk of dying is very low, about 1 in 5,000. It is one of the most curable cancers with nearly 140,000 survivors in the U.S. Therefore, the importance of screening cannot be overestimated.
