Hello. I'm Doctor Clayton Hess, founder of CureRays Radiation Medicine. Let me walk you through this page: Keep Testicular Cancer Away®.

Testicular cancer is the most curable cancer there is — about 97 in 100 men are alive five years after diagnosis, including many whose cancer had already spread. It is also the most common cancer in men aged 20 to 34, and the one most often delayed by embarrassment.

Here is what you'll find on this page.

Who is at risk. Age — over half of cases occur between 20 and 34. This is a young man's cancer; Undescended testicle (cryptorchidism), even if corrected in childhood — the strongest single risk factor; Family history — a father or brother with testicular cancer raises risk several-fold.

Finding it early.

How it’s diagnosed. Ultrasound of the scrotum is quick, painless and highly accurate at distinguishing a solid tumor from a cyst or fluid.

Here is what you can do next.
