Content: There are 18,700 new cases of prostate cancer every year in Australia, and 3,000 of those men will die of it. There areÃ‚Â 230,110 cases of prostate cancer every year in the U.S.A. and 29,900 will die of it. Your chances of developing prostate cancer increase as you age, from 1 in every 1,000 men in their forties, to 80 in every 1,000 men in their seventies. Testicular torsion (twisting testes from bell clapper deformity) occurs in 4.5 cases per 100,000 American males per year aged 1 to 25,Ã‚Â so it is more prevalent than testicular cancer. An orchiectomy is required inÃ‚Â 34% of cases, usually because young boys are too shy to seek treatment for an acutely painful groin. 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.
