Content: It usually affects the left testicle, and occurs most frequently in one-year-olds and 12 to 18-year-olds, with the peak atÃ‚Â 14 years of age. Testicular cancer occurs in 4.2 males out of every 100,000. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer affecting men aged 15 to 35. Less thanÃ‚Â 5% of males develop cancer in both testes. You are most likely to require removal of both testes (bilateral orchiectomy) if you are Caucasian (white), have undescended testicles, a family history of genital cancer, and have already had one testicle removed because of cancer. Boys with untreated undescended testicles are 3 to 14 times more likely to develop testicular cancer than the general population. In Australia, 1 in 650 males is born with Klinefelter syndrome. In the USA, 1 in 500 to 1,000 males has an extra sex chromosome. Boys with genetic disorders affecting their sex chromosomes and testicles, like Klinefelter syndrome, are more likely to develop cancer. Sometimes, doctors recommend orchiectomy to prevent the development of testicular cancer in affected boys.
