Abstract
Abstract: Testicular cancer (TC) is the most prevalent malignancy in males ages 15 to 35. The incidence of TC is increasing among Hispanic males, which may indicate problems accessing care and the need to amplify the importance of TC awareness, early diagnosis, and prompt treatment. This article discusses TC risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnostic studies, pathology and staging, and management of patients with TC.
