Does anybody know the signs and symptoms of this type of cancer? Also the risks of contracting this illness.

While a cancer diagnosis is always serious, the good news about testicular cancer is that it is treated successfully in 95% of cases. If treated early, the cure rate rises to 98%. Although a man's risk of getting it is 1 in 263, his chance of dying from the disease is only about 1 to 100.
