A cancer that begins when abnormal cells grow uncontrolled in the male sex organs that make and store sperm (testicles), testicular cancer is rare but the most common cancer among young men. Most testicular cancers begin in the cells that produce sperm, called germ cells. There are two main types of germ cells, seminomas, which grow slowly, and nonseminomas, which tend to grow and spread more quickly.
