In short testicular cancer arises when abnormal cells grow at a fast rate and form together to create a tumour within the testicles. There are two types of testicular cancer – one is seminoma and the other is non-seminoma. Both are similar but seminoma usually affects men in their 40s and 50s while non-seminoma is usually diagnosed in men in their early 20s and 30s and is faster-growing.
