Location

  • Testicular: Testicles (scrotum)
  • Prostate: Prostate gland (below bladder)

Typical Age at Diagnosis

  • Testicular: 15–35 years
  • Prostate: ~65 years average

Risk Factors

  • Testicular: Family history, undescended testicle, Klinefelter syndrome
  • Prostate: Age, family history, race, diet

Common Symptoms

  • Testicular: Lump/swelling, pain/heaviness in scrotum
