Prevention of testicular cancer
Can testicular cancer be prevented?
Many men with testicular cancer have no known risk factors
And some of the known risk factors, such as undescended testicles, white race, and a family history of the disease, are unavoidable
For these reasons, it is not possible now to prevent most cases of this disease

It is wise to correct cryptorchidism in male children, but experts disagree if this changes the child's risk for testicular cancer

It does seem that correcting cryptorchidism earlier in life is better than waiting until puberty for reasons like fertility and body image
Furthermore, someone who knows that he has a risk factor such as cryptorchidism may be motivated to be more watchful and to practice testicular self-exam to allow an earlier diagnosis
